Reviews of Royal Shakespeare Theatre
"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."
