We booked a behind the scenes tour, although I had to talk my husband into it. The guides were great full of interesting information, we didn't get to see inside the theatre as they had things going on, but what we did see was very interesting. My husband commented after he was glad I talked him into it. In the evening we saw MacBeth, we decided to go with open minds after reading some reviews, and actually enjoyed the performance.

This theatre is dedicated to Stratford's renowned, William Shakespeare. It is situated beside the Canal Basin along the scenic River Avon. The theatre is open for free public access as well as guided tours for 13.50. We opted to wander and explore on our own. Going up to the tower requires a volunteer to be present for the duration of your time at the top. The enclosed tower provides phenomenal views of Stratford! Take the time to walk through the costume exhibit and enjoy the elaborate displays of custom made period pieces. There's a lot of other things to see around the theatre; murals, stained glass windows, sculptures and more! The more you explore, the more you will see. It's all fun!

We visited the theatre to watch a Royal Shakespeare Company production of Macbeth. We were not disappointed! From the time we arrived at the theatre to the time we left our experience was nothing short of excellent. Every single member of staff we encountered were welcoming, friendly and above all courteous. The facilities at the theatre were exceptional. With great attention paid to accessibility and cleanliness. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend a visit to anyone interested in Shakespeare or the theatre in general.

We saw Macbeth here. Got tickets early, had great seats. Production was creative and very good, the theater is smallish and much like theaters of Shakespeare's day. Great night out.

We attended the theatre on Wednesday night, having never been here before the staff were so helpful. We spoke to a couple members of staff in order to locate our seats, one particular lady had been kind as to point us to the marble staircase to enhance our experience of the theatre. We watched The box of delights, a good way to start Christmas celebrations.

We had excellent seats with plenty of leg room as promised when I booked. My husband is hard of hearing and took advantage of the offer of headphones. That, and the cloakroom, so no sitting surrounded by bulky coats, was free. Every member of staff were so welcoming and helpful. They all made our evening special. The production was great too.

As expected this was an enjoyable visit to this beautiful theatre where we saw The Box of Delights. We had great seats providing a good view of the performance made all the more special during the festive season! The staff were all very welcoming and friendly where no question was too small. There is a cafe on site which was surprisingly reasonably priced compared to similar venues. There were also some areas before you entered the theatre where children could interact with props (e.g. trying on their favourite costume), which was a nice touch. A venue of theatrical wonders!

Must go! The ambiance is perfect for a night out. The Merchant of Venice is currently showing and is a masterpiece! The tickets might be sold out, but one can get returned tickets before the show. Dining places across the street, and comfortable seats inside the theater.

A Midsummer Night's Dream was wonderful in every sense. An energetic young cast performed the physical stunts required of them with gusto, and the music was excellent. Diction was clear and audible, and costumes were fun and inventive. I'm still thinking about the hologrammic violet, which was extraordinary. There's no escaping the fact that the majority of the audience were in the' older' category', but there were some younger theatre-goers there too. Roll on the next visit.

As an English major, it was definitely on my bucket list to see a production at the Royal Shakespeare Company. We saw Macbeth, which I've read but have never seen on stage. It is definitely a different interpretation of Shakespeare's standard play, but nonetheless a wonderful production. Parts are certainly dense, but that is to be expected. Intermission allows for plenty of time to refill on drinks or snacks.
