The Stone

The Stone at Royal Court Theatre

Why see The Stone?

1934: A young couple buys the house from a Jewish family, and so the myth begins
1953: The couple's daughter discovers the stone
1973: The family returns to claim what's rightfully theirs
1993: The house is back in their possession

As a house passes from owner to owner, and from generation to generation, the secrets buried in the garden and seeping from the walls reveal themselves.

Marius von Mayenburg's (The Ugly One, Fireface) new play examines the reverberations created by 60 years of German history.

60 years since the foundation of the Federal Republic and 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Royal Court presents Off The Wall, a season of new plays about Germany. This includes Over There by Mark Ravenhill (Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat, Pool (No Water), Shopping and F***ing) and a series of readings of new plays by German writers.
