The Royal Shakespeare Company is Britain's flagship classical theatre ensemble, headquartered in Shakespeare's birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon with a significant London presence. Founded in 1961 under Peter Hall, the RSC has produced definitive interpretations of the Shakespeare canon while nurturing new writing of the highest caliber. Its Royal Shakespeare Theatre, rebuilt and reopened in 2010 as a thrust-stage auditorium, creates an electric intimacy between actor and audience. From Judi Dench to David Tennant, the RSC has served as the crucible for generations of Britain's greatest stage actors.
