ARTISTS CIRCLE WEEKEND

Friday 14 and Saturday 15 March

Enjoy watching Daniel Evans perform the title role in Marlowe’s Edward II on the Friday evening at 7.30pm, before an overnight stay in Stratford-upon-Avon. Then, attend Patrons’ Your Year Ahead from 10am-12pm on Saturday morning, a fascinating session where you can hear behind-the-scenes information from across the organisation and senior leadership. This will be followed by a light lunch for Artists Circle supporters before going on to the 1pm matinee performance of Rupert Goold’s much anticipated Hamlet.

SHAKESPEARE’S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND

Thursday 24 to Sunday 27 April

Join us and fellow close supporters in London and Stratford-upon-Avon for the highlight of the RSC year: our annual Shakespeare's Birthday celebration. 

On Thursday, enjoy our 'truly remarkable' (WhatsOnStage) political thriller Kyoto at @sohoplace in London.

Then travel with us to Stratford-upon-Avon for a weekend full of exciting things, including time spent with and hearing from artists, actors, and creatives.

On Friday evening, Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey warmly invite you to join them for their Co-Artistic Directors celebration, to thank you for your support, celebrate the past year and toast the season ahead.

Over the weekend, you will have the opportunity to see two Shakespeare productions; Michael Longhurst’s Much Ado About Nothing and Max Webster’s Titus Andronicus in the Swan Theatre.

Performance tickets, return private bus travel between London and Stratford-upon-Avon, all meals, drinks receptions, theatre programmes, expert talks, and two nights’ hotel accommodation at The Arden Hotel are included in the purchase price of £1,150 / $1,430 per person.

The rooms quoted at the Arden are Classic Rooms and they are limited. Room upgrades are available. Flights and London hotels are not included, although we are happy to assist with bookings at Edwardian Hotels.

We look forward to sharing full details for this weekend with you soon.

ARTISTS CIRCLE WEEKEND

Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 July

Enjoy three productions across two days. This will include Yaël Farber’s The Winter’s Tale and Tamara Harvey’s take on W. Somerset Maugham’s The Constant Wife. The third production will be the last performance of Sarah Kane’s 4.48 Psychosis, performed at 4.48am in The Other Place, where the cast will join you for breakfast following the performance. This special weekend is curated around this crucial moment which grounds Kane’s last play and is not to be missed.

Actor availability and rehearsal opportunities are scheduled with every intention to proceed as stated. As freelance professionals and a working theatre, availability may change at the last minute.

Press Nights

Press night attendance is available to Artists Circle Members and Major Supporters with the purchase of a performance ticket. In the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, we will welcome you to pre-show and interval drinks. In the Swan Theatre and The Other Place, there will be interval drinks only. London press nights will include pre-show receptions and interval drinks. New for this season, members of the Artists Circle are invited to attend the after-show party for all press nights.
