As one of our Friends, you can enjoy special exclusive events such as In Conversations with RSC actors.

The RSC Friends enjoy a lively programme of events, including In Conversations with actors from the current RSC companies and day trips. Guests at past talks include Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart and Antony Sher. RSC Friends' events currently take place in Stratford-upon-Avon and London.

Upcoming events

    We are continuing to meet informally for coffee every few months. We first started doing this at the end of lockdown and it has proved to be popular. Do come along at any point during the above times, get yourself a drink and join us for a chat. No need to book.

    We have a new batch of Friends Events which will be announced soon, so check back here to see new event listings in early October.
