About the RSC

The aim of the RSC is to keep modern audiences in touch with Shakespeare as our contemporary.

That means that as well as the work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, our repertoire includes classic plays by international dramatists and work by living writers.

Brand

One of the world's best-known theatre ensembles, the Royal Shakespeare Company focuses on works by Shakespeare, other renaissance dramatists and contemporary writers. The RSC's ensemble nature allows audiences to follow the company's actors in a number of repertoire productions while providing an expert training environment for its actors, directors and theatre artists.

The RSC continually strives to engage more people with the experience of live theatre through its productions, education and outreach work. In the past five years, annual productions aimed at families have successfully brought 150,000 people to the theatre for the first time.

The RSC is dedicated to attracting and inspiring the best artists both on stage and behind the scenes, to produce performances of the very highest standard.
