World Theatre Season, annual festival of foreign plays in the original, performed by foreign companies invited to London by Peter Daubeny and housed in the Aldwych Theatre during the absence of the RSC. It ran from 1964 to 1973, with a final season in 1975, the first season being part of the celebrations for Shakespeare's Quatercentenary. It was not confined to European theatre but included visits by companies from Turkey, India, and Israel, and evenings devoted to the Japanese nō and kabuki.
