Rebooking tickets

If you have booked tickets for The Magician’s Elephant in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre or The Wars of the Roses in the Swan Theatre for 2020, we will contact you by email to confirm if you wish to exchange your tickets to a new performance in Winter 2021, or to discuss your other options.

We very much hope that you will feel able to transfer your booking to next Winter: this is extremely helpful in supporting and sustaining the RSC in the short term, and we will be excited to share these wonderful shows with you – just a little later than planned. 

For Patrons and Members who wish to make a new booking for Winter 2021, please see Priority Booking dates below. 

Wars of the Roses Part 1 & Part 2 close up of rose

The Wars of the Roses:
Part 1 & Part 2

William Shakespeare

Experience the thrill of rebellion, the brutality of battle, the tension of intrigue and ambition without boundaries.

More about the play  Join the RSC 

For The Wars of the Roses, we will transform the ground floor of the Swan Theatre with new grandstand seating and 100 standing arena spaces, immersing you in the action. Stand and move amongst the actors; hear every heartbeat, see every bead of sweat and feel part of every battle. Seating in Galleries 1 and 2 will remain unchanged. See the full seating plan and our visualisation of the auditorium.

The Magician's Elephant

New musical by Nancy Harris and Marc Teitler, based on Kate DiCamillo's best-selling novel 

A magician conjures an elephant from the sky, setting off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible, that it changes life in this quiet and lonely town forever.
