Royal Shakespeare Company

The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) is a prominent British theatre company known for its productions of Shakespearean plays and contemporary works. Recently, the RSC has been in the news for several significant developments. They are set to stage a prequel to George RR Martin's "Game of Thrones" this summer in Stratford-upon-Avon, titled "Game of Thrones: The Mad King." Additionally, the RSC is collaborating with the band Placebo for a new production of Bertolt Brecht's "The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui." These productions highlight the RSC's commitment to both classic and modern works, as well as its willingness to experiment with different artistic collaborations. The RSC's activities are particularly relevant now as discussions around arts funding and accessibility are ongoing, with a focus on ensuring that cultural institutions reach all parts of the UK.
