RSC confirms rescheduled Winter 2021 programme

Productions will include new family musical The Magician's Elephant by Nancy Harris and Marc Teitler, based on the novel by Kate DiCamillo and directed by Sarah Tipple; The Wars of the Roses - all three parts of Henry VI across two performances, directed by Owen Horsley with Gregory Doran; and a First Encounters with Shakespeare production of Twelfth Night to be edited and directed by Robin Belfield and to tour schools across England.

There is also an ambition, now supported by the government's announcement of theatre reopening from 1 August, to open this Winter 2020 with rescheduled performances of The Winter's Tale and The Comedy of Errors. Both productions were in rehearsal and due to open in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre this spring.

For bookings made throughout 2020 for future performances, audiences can book their tickets with confidence knowing that if they are unable to attend a performance for any reason, they can exchange their tickets up to 2 hours before the performance or event start time, at no extra cost.

Tickets can be exchanged for another performance with seats at the same price or for an RSC Gift Voucher which can be used as part or full payment against future ticket purchases or memberships, ether online, in person or over the telephone. RSC Gift Vouchers are valid for 12 months from the date of issue.

Unless a performance is cancelled, tickets cannot be refunded once a purchase has been made.

This policy is for performances in Stratford-upon-Avon only and for Matilda The Musical at the Cambridge Theatre in London. Terms and conditions for performances outside of Stratford-upon-Avon may vary. Similarly, the above service is not available if you book your tickets through a ticket agent or for tickets for non-RSC productions.
