About the Author

The Royal Shakespeare Company is one of the world's best known theatre companies. It's their job to connect people with Shakespeare and produce bold, ambitious work with living writers, actors and artists. Their home is in Stratford-upon-Avon and in 2010 they reopened the Royal Shakespeare and Swan theatres after a £112.8m transformation to bring actors and audiences closer together. They play regularly in London, Newcastle upon Tyne and on tour across the UK and the world.
