In 2006 Lisa Wright was invited to be artist in residence at the Royal Shakespeare Company. The company was embarking on Michael Boyd's acclaimed production of the History Cycle – eight plays charting 100 years of English history with the same group of actors. This extraordinary ensemble project lasted two years. During that time, Wright attended the initial rehearsals in London and then at Stratford for sessions of intensive drawing. In the book Lisa Wright: The Histories, writer Michael Bird describes how closely Wright came to feel involved in the process during rehearsals. "It’s evident, too, from the vitality and responsiveness of her line, ranging fluently through so many different kinds of mark and levels of pressure, that drawing lies at the heart of her work – its source and, I would say, its integral strength," he says.
