Welcome
The Company’s fourteen-acre site on the banks of the River Avon is at the heart of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s operations. Shakespeare has been performed continually in the town since the nineteenth century.
Now the Company has the opportunity to transform its theatres in the town to create the most dynamic spaces to both perform and enjoy Shakespeare.
This site follows the journey of the project from design to completion.
This is one of the world's most iconic theatrical sites. It represents a mix of Shakespearean performance, history and biography that's unique. Our challenge is to marry the best elements of the existing buildings with the brief we've outlined for the auditorium, backstage and audience facilities. We are well on the way to realising our ambition to create the best modern playhouse for Shakespeare.
This is a once in a generation opportunity both for the RSC and Stratford-upon-Avon. We need the help of all our supporters to realise our vision."
— Sir Christopher Bland, Chairman
