The Friends is a volunteer organisation led by a small group of co-ordinators. The RSC Friends were set up in 1983 to create a closer link between our many enthusiastic supporters and the Company itself. There are more than 1,000 RSC Friends across the UK.

How it works

The Friends support us in many ways, either volunteering on the Friends' desk before performances or at special events, or fundraising for particular projects. The Friends also enjoy a lively programme of events - in the past there have been exclusive events with Patrick Stewart, Antony Sher and other actors. Profits made go directly towards supporting our activities.
