LONDON THEATRE CLUB

Through our exceptional theatre work, the RSC platforms some of the best artists and theatre makers in the world. To celebrate this, we have launched our London Theatre Club to mark the RSC's impact and the vast contributions of RSC alumni artists to the wider world of theatre and create a fun and social way for our wonderful supporters to connect with our work and each other.

London Theatre Club is available to our Silver Patrons and above as a thank you for your significant support.

Each London Theatre Club outing will normally consist of a pre-show drink, your ticket, and an opportunity to meet our RSC alumni artists, ensuring you can connect with the RSC community in a very special way.

The evenings are intended to be intimate affairs, so capacity is very limited and Priority Booking will apply for each evening.
