Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, steeped in culture and history. Set in the beautiful rural Warwickshire countryside, on the banks of the river Avon, it is one of the most important tourist destinations in the UK.
Perhaps the most famous resident of Stratford today is the world famous Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Unlike many other international theatre companies, the RSC operates a repertoire system under which actors take on several roles in a range of plays - nowhere but with the RSC can you see an ensemble of actors facing the challenge of so many different demanding roles across a season.
