As a registered charity, the Royal Shakespeare Company relies on public support and generosity.
By supporting our work from £1,000 a year you can enable the RSC to push the boundaries of new writing, encourage new directors and designers, train artists at all stages of their careers as well as ambitiously re-interpret classic works by Shakespeare and his contemporaries. In return you will receive a special schedule of acknowledgement which will include a personal ticket booking services and regular opportunities to meet members of the artistic team.
