The Royal Shakespeare Theatre

The Royal Shakespeare Theatre



The Shakespeare Memorial Theatre opened on our site next to the River Avon in 1879, after local brewer, Charles Flower donated the land and launched a campaign to build a theatre in the town of Shakespeare's birth.

There are three permanent theatres in Stratford-upon-Avon: the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and the Swan Theatre, which both share a building on Waterside, and The Other Place, which is a short walk away on Southern Lane.  Synonymous with the works of the great Bard himself, Stratford upon Avon’s theatres are the pinnacle to any visit to the playwrights town.
