Featuring members of the cast or creative teams, as well as expert guest speakers, our talks programme offers the chance to find out more about our plays. For each play we perform, we offer a pre-show Director Talk and a Post Show Talk with the cast, giving you the chance to have your questions about the show and the creative process answered. See details of the events you can book below.

The weekend will feature discussions and talks with leading academics, actors, directors, and RSC theatre makers. From the comfort of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre auditorium, learn more about how the RSC makes theatre, how creative teams have approached our current season, and how these plays have been interpreted across history.

Our Unwrapped demonstrations offer a peek into the rehearsal room, with the Assistant Director and members of the cast, often our understudies, looking at one or two particular moments from the play. They give an insight into how a scene is taken off the page and onto the stage, with the actors and Assistant Director showing the type of exercises and discussion that took place during rehearsals.
