Royal Shakespeare Company

Peter Hall established the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1960. In the same year, as well as presenting performances in Stratford, the company began performing at the Aldwych Theatre in London. In 1963 the company was given its first Arts Council subsidy. In 1978 the company launched an annual regional tour. In 1996 the company was remodeled to increase national touring, and in 2001 the RSC announced pioneering plans to redevelop the Stratford theaters and reinvigorate the company’s presence in London.
