   We discovered that the RSC did tours by chance whilst we sheltered from the rain. Lucky we did as the tour was amazing and David our guide was excellent and provided an excellent narrative of the history of this theatre and its history. Easily navigated even for those who are less ambulant. It offers a great insight into this building and the history. Do this if you are in town.

   This review is related to the behind-the-scenes tour that you can do at 10:15 AM. I’m sure the play performances are exquisite. If you are a big fan of the behind-the-scenes tour will be indispensable for you. If you have ever been backstage for a theater, you may find this to be of interest Otherwise, it really wasn’t that interesting of a tour and I wish I wouldn’t have gone on it. I do hope to see a play here sometime in the future.

   No matter the performance being staged, the quality and settings are superb! As a larger lady, the seating was a bit snug, but doable! All the staff there are super friendly and very helpful and have just become members, so even better deals etc!

   Great Place for Shakespeare fans Sadly we could not see a play, but we were already happy to see this historical place and the shop where we were able to purchase a few Shakespearian souvenirs. The place itself has on top of the Theater a café & a restaurant and obviously the boutique. Very close to the canal so great to visit and then go for a stroll. It was all really nice to peruse & visit. Highly recommended!

   Thoroughly enjoyed seeing "A Winter's Tale" at this charming theatre. The acting was superb and the effects were intriguing. I don't think there's a bad view in this theatre, and the seats were quite comfortable. The ushers were friendly and made check-in easy. If you get a chance, definitely attend one of their productions!

   First time for me at the RSC. Brilliant experience,great atmosphere.. Right at the front of the stage,great view. Set out like the old Globe. Ade Edmondson made a great Scrooge.Look forward to going again. Rooftop Restaurant is worth a visit as well.

   It looks very unassuming from the outside, almost like your entering a city hall rather than a theatre. But once inside it comes alive as a theatre. The auditorium seems to age and experience beyond it’s time. The seats are comfortable and there was no viewing problems either (assuming you don’t choose a restricted viewing seat). A bar and toilets on each level makes it a pleasant experience.

   We had a truly delicious pre-theatre meal here. It was light, carefully prepared and served modern cuisine. The beetroot, grapefruit and ricotta starter had a beautiful range of flavours and the bream was perfectly cooked. Set price for two or three courses made things easy. Nothing too much trouble for the waiting staff who were attentive, informed and helpful. Followed by superb rendition of Richard 3rd, we had a great evening.

   I saw the All's Well That Ends Well production and it was a very lovely theatre. The gift shop is cute, the cafe looked nice and the staff were on the ball. Great seating - I was given an upgrade and it was really lovely being closer to the stage.

   Excellent place. The staff are all so helpful & lovely. They take their time to chat and make sure you know where you are going. A number of them even complimented my Husband & I on our attire & thanked us for making the effort to dress accordingly. (Very few people had bothered to dress for the occasion). A fabulous, interesting building with a shop, bar, cafe & restaurant. We saw an updated version of 'Much ado about nothing'. Again an excellent performance by all of the cast. It was my first foray into Shakespeare but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My only negative comment is that the theatre seats are very small with very little leg room(I'm 5' 2")& were quite uncomfortable. Overall I would highly recommend and would definitely visit again. Thankyou to all who helped make this a fabulous Valentine's surprise weekend.
