About This Show
Join the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) as it opens its doors for a triple celebration that marks the end of its year-long Complete Works Festival, Shakespeare’s birthday and the temporary closure of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre (RST).
To mark this unique point in the RSC’s history, there will be an opportunity to say goodbye to the current RST stage with backstage tours throughout the weekend, as well as a host of events taking place on Sunday 29 April at the RSC’s annual Open Day. As well as workshops and events, the RSC will host a specially commissioned musical concert, a Shakespeare quiz, a football match, a theatre discovery zone, backstage and star tours and welcome RSC alumni including Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, Juliet Stevenson and Patrick Stewart.
