Drama about hunt for Raoul Moat part of Royal Court’s new season

Other plays to feature include a production of Sarah Kane’s final work and a saga involving a British Museum artefact

A new Robert Icke drama about the hunt for Raoul Moat, a revival of Sarah Kane’s final play, and a saga about a Chinese request for the return of a stolen artefact from the British Museum are among the standout pieces that have been announced as part of the latest Royal Court season.

The theatre’s artistic director, David Byrne, said the season was “internationalist” with South African (A Good House) and Palestinian writers (A Knock on the Roof) alongside more established British talent, such as Icke.
