The artists participating in the productions at the Trafalgar Studios will be graduates from Donmar's Resident Assistant Director Scheme (RAD). The first productions in this endeavor will be Charlotte Westenra's staging of Beau Willimon's play about hurricane Katrina, Lower Ninth; Roisin McBrinn's production of a new adaptation of Italian playwright Alessandro Baricco's portrait of a jazz musician, Novecento, and Chris Rolls' revival of Jean Cocteau's Les Parents Terribles, translated by Jeremy Sams.
