Our evening at the RSC was a highlight of our trip to England. The fabulous production, intimate theater, and experience of watching Shakespeare in the playwrite's hometown provided a perfect combination. In our group we had people with varied interest in Shakespear, but everyone enjoyed the show.

Took my Mother to see Robin Hood (which was brilliant) and as a disabled guest they were extremely helpful to ensure she was made as comfortable as possible. From booking thru to the performance. We also ate as a group of 4 at the restaurant up top, which we rated as average to good.

We were surprised and thrilled that we were able to get tickets in the late afternoon for a performance of "Twelfth Night" that same evening. The set was amazing and the play was delightful. Such a nice bonus to our trip.

Having now seen two productions in the refurbished (actually rebuilt) Royal Shakespeare I think I like it.

Sightlines were excellent from the side circle, and the audience is...

The new theatre is an impressive piece of architecture but what a shame that the auditoria seats are so small...

We were late for a show, so popped into the shop for some souvenirs. Nice and not overly commercial. Shame the roof top bar was shut!

If you've never been to the Swan, then you need to find an excuse to go. This is a three-storey high arrangement, with the top two floors having only two rows of seats. Every play I've ever seen here seems to use these tiers for some of the acting space -- actors stand on the balconies and shout across at...
