曼彻斯特皇家交易所剧院艺术总监塞莉娜·卡特梅尔宣布了2027-2028年的新演出季计划1。卡特梅尔两年前接任该职位，当时剧院正处于50年历史中最严重的危机中——一部作品因涉及跨性别权利和"自由巴勒斯坦"措辞而被取消1。尽管独立审查未发现存在审查行为，但指出"领导层出现重大失职"1。
新演出季将包括西蒙·斯蒂芬斯创作的新剧《第一件蓝色的东西》、《伙伴们与美女们》和《仲夏夜之梦》新制作1。2028年还将首演改编自大卫·皮斯小说《慕尼黑》的舞台版，该作品聚焦1958年2月6日的曼彻斯特空难，这场空难造成44名乘客中23人遇难，其中包括8名曼联球员1。此外，剧院将于明年重新开放一个100座的工作室空间，该空间自2020年3月起一直关闭1。750座主舞台也将进行翻新，其座椅已使用30年1。
Selina Cartmell, artistic director of Manchester's Royal Exchange Theatre, has announced an expansive 2027-2028 season as the venue moves past a significant institutional crisis that engulfed the theater two years ago 1. The new programming includes stage adaptations of major literary works and classical revivals, signaling what Cartmell describes as a renewed commitment to bold artistic vision 1.
The appointment comes against the backdrop of a damaging controversy that struck at the heart of the theater's 50-year history 1. A production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was cancelled following objections centered on its treatment of transgender rights and the inclusion of pro-Palestine messaging 1. An independent review subsequently found no evidence of actual censorship but identified "significant leadership failures" within the institution 1.
The forthcoming season reflects a deliberate reset of priorities 1. Simon Stephens will premiere a new play titled "The First Blue Thing," while the theater has commissioned a stage adaptation of David Peace's novel "Munich," scheduled to debut in 2028 1. This adaptation addresses the Manchester air disaster of February 6, 1958, in which 23 of 44 passengers died, including eight Manchester United players 1. The season will also feature productions of "Men and Women" and a new version of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" 1.
Alongside its artistic programming, the Royal Exchange is undertaking significant physical renewal 1. A 100-seat studio space, shuttered since March 2020, will reopen next year, while the 750-seat main stage will undergo renovation after its seating has remained in use for 30 years 1.
