Royal Shakespeare Company

Located in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) stands as one of Britain’s most esteemed theater companies.

Founded by Peter Hall in 1961, the RSC is driven by the belief that Shakespeare's works should be accessible to everyone. The company not only stages Shakespeare’s plays and those of his contemporaries but also commissions new works from contemporary writers. Over the years, it has been home to some of the theater world’s most celebrated actors and directors, including Dame Judi Dench, Sir Ian McKellen, David Tennant, Sir Trevor Nunn, and Gregory Doran. From timeless stagings of Shakespearean classics to inventive re-imaginings the RSC continually brings innovative and accessible productions to audiences worldwide.
