Shakespeare’s Birthday celebrations – 20 April
An afternoon of free activities and performances to celebrate our playwright’s birthday. Parade – The Giant Wheel is a moving performance inspired by the beauty, power and impact of people from different walks of life coming together, with a 12ft tall giant wheel powered by six street artists. We also have workshops for age 8+ and family storytelling for the younger ones.
The Play's The Thing, our exhibition of more than 100 years of theatre-making magic reopens on the birthday with a new selection of costumes, props and unique items from the RSC Collection.
