LONDON THEATRE CLUB

Through our exceptional theatre work, the RSC platforms some of the best artists and theatre makers in the world. To celebrate this, we have launched our London Theatre Club to mark the RSC's impact and the vast contributions of RSC alumni artists to the wider world of theatre and create a fun and social way for our wonderful supporters to connect with our work and each other.

London Theatre Club is available to our Silver Patrons and above as a thank you for your significant support.

Each London Theatre Club outing will normally consist of a pre-show drink, your ticket, and an opportunity to meet our RSC alumni artists, ensuring you can connect with the RSC community in a very special way.

The evenings are intended to be intimate affairs, so capacity is very limited and Priority Booking will apply for each evening.

Patrons are also invited to our RSC Friends Events

  • IN CONVERSATION: LUKE NORRIS

Join us for our 78th annual RSC Summer School, which takes place from 26 to 29 August 2025. Join us for a week-long programme with leading academics, actors, directors and RSC staff about Shakespeare, theatre and the shows on our stages in the 2025/26 season.

DIRECTOR TALKS

We offer talks with members of each show's director and/or writer in conversation, talking about some of the influences and decisions that have created the production.

The Patrons’ Team often hold drinks in the bar after the Director Talk and before the show starts, so do try and book those simultaneously to get the most out of your day.

UNWRAPPED EVENTS

Our Unwrapped demonstrations offer a peek into the rehearsal room, with the Assistant Director and members of the cast looking at moments from the play. They give an insight into how a scene is taken off the page and onto the stage, and show the type of exercises and discussion that took place during rehearsals.

BOOK NOW

POST SHOW TALKS

Stay on after the show and talk to members of the acting company at these regular, free events.

Post Show Talks are an informal way of finding out more about the production, the actors' process and what it's like to work at the RSC.
