‘4 of the naughtiest kids in the class, at the end of the play we were all in tears. 4 of these big burly lads in tears at this play, that just blew my mind. I had no idea drama, acting a play could create that kind of magic’ @DavidHarewood on seeing King Lear for the first time ‘It wasn’t until I came out of drama school that I realised there was a difference, the moment in my head I started to understand the significance of my colour… that was the beginning of my unravelling’ - @DavidHarewood

Today on our 200th birthday we're excited to also launch #RSLInternational Writers. This programme recognises the contribution of writers worldwide to literature in English, & the power of literature to transcend borders.

We are accepting public recommendations. (1/4) #RSL200 We invite readers & writers to recommend writers not resident in, or citizens of, the UK, whose works have made great contribution to literary culture. They will have published two works of outstanding literary merit (translated into English/written in English). (2/4)
