Many visits to RSC since 2018 alongside attending many Shakespeare productions in other venues rangi

Many visits to RSC since 2018 alongside attending many Shakespeare productions in other venues ranging from pub gardens to the National Theatre. Some of the best productions I have seen have been at the RSC. Equally, some of the more disappointing have been there.
I have been less satisfied by recent productions. Often feeling that excellent performances have been let down by gimmicky - hugely expensive - sets, which have distracted rather than enhanced.
We will go again, but productions are not as much a "must see" currently as they were 5 years ago.

Went to see BFG

Went to see BFG. Absolutely superb. I was spellbound, it was magical from start to finish. The actors /artists were like watching an artist creating cartoons/ art, making things come to life. So thoughtfully done. With humour and excellent effects. The memory will stay with me forever. The staff were friendly helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you.

Barbican pricing system for Twelfth Night the opposite of transparent.

Hoikes you in with the offer of £31 tickets, but the ones you’d want are £140.Not happening in these days of woke ‘re-imagining’ and Shakespeare twisted into something unrecognisable to serve some halfwit’s ‘message’ about slavery/Palestine/gender politics.Or to have Benedict Cumberbatch lecture you on your failure to support whatever fashionable cause he’s battened onto.

An Excellent Guide

Took the Theatre Tour at 11.45 3 November 2025. The guide introduced himself as Dave. Both of us have mobility issues. He immediately rerouted the path of the tour to allow us to use lifts. We hope this did not detract from the tour for the rest of the party but it made the tour a joy for us. Dave was very knowledgable and an excellent communicator. A big thank you.

Total disgrace

We booked a tour. The ticket gave two times, 1st page said theatre tour time 1015. Page 3 said 1145. I encountered someone who claimed to be a manager who, on my demonstrating at the stupidest of instructions accused me of being “elevated”. I am severely disabled. To hang around for another 1 1/2 hours is ridiculous. He said he couldn’t do anything as it was another manager’s responsibility. My day and health suffered very painfully. Total disgrace

No apology for substitution of main actor

I received vouchers for my birthday last year and eagerly awaited a performance that I like the look of. I am a huge Rose Leslie, so chose The Constant Wife as soon as tickets were available - front row so that my husband could see and hear the performance @ £125.00!I looked forward to the performance for five months, travelled a considerable distance, stayed overnight in Stratford and then, without warning or explanation, found myself watching an understudy. I was fuming for a good twenty minutes, and pondered leaving, before a funny line from the mother character made me laugh.In short, the play was well adapted, the direction excellent, and the music a nice touch, but the whole performance was lacking. I felt cheated. There is no other medium in which this would be acceptable - imagine buying tickets to see Robbie Williams and ending up with a tribute act. Upset, I emailed the RSC the following day, to ask the reason for Rose Leslie's absence, which I now understand has occurred previously during this run. The RSC took eleven days to respond, indicating that Rose Leslie had been ill (again?). Rather than apologise for my obvious disappointment, the RSC defensively emphasised its pride in its understudies. Never again!

Disgusting that they charge more for independent school children. Won't be going back anytime soon.

I am (was) a regular visitor to the globe theatre but since hearing that the RSC are charging £6.50 per child more if they go to an independent school over a state school, I will no longer go. Can’t abide divisive, discriminatory actions, especially towards children
