The Theatre

Perhaps the most famous resident of Stratford today is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC).

The RSC, founded in 1960 by Peter Hall, boasts the finest actors and directors working on great plays in some of the best theatre spaces in the world.

Unlike many other international theatre companies, the RSC operates a repertoire system under which actors take on several roles in a range of plays - nowhere but with the RSC can you see an ensemble of actors facing the challenge of so many different demanding roles across a season.

The RSC currently performs in two theatres in Stratford-upon-Avon: the 432-seat Swan Theatre and The Courtyard Theatre, which has a thrust stage and seating for 1000 people. The Courtyard Theatre will be the Company’s main performance space until 2010 whilst the Royal Shakespeare Theatre is closed for transformation. As part of this project, the Swan Theatre will also close from August 2007. During the winter months, Stratford-upon-Avon’s Civic Hall will provide the RSC with a temporary second theatre.
