The Royal Shakespeare Company

RSC Open Stages is a new project that aims to embrace, develop and celebrate amateur theatre, re-forging the bond with the world of professional theatre.

Over 260 amateur companies have signed up to produce RSC Open Stages productions across the UK from the Isle of Skye to Galway, to the Isle of Wight, with over 7200 people taking part. Productions are due to be performed everywhere from castles to village halls, from beaches to ball rooms and churches.

The World Shakespeare Festival and RSC Open Stages (with assistance from the Esmée Fairburn foundation)

As part of the World Shakespeare Festival, RSC Open Stages will hold a celebration of the amateur theatre in mid July 2012 in Stratford-on-Avon
