An RSC gala event Development

Ticket sales, financial support from Arts Council England and fundraising are the RSC's biggest sources of revenue. The Development team works with individuals, trusts and companies, building relationships in order to raise funds. New writing and artist training, education projects and the Transformation of the Stratford theaters...the results of generous donations can be seen everywhere.

"It was a dream come true to be able to support King Lear with Ian McKellen in the title role. Perhaps, more than anything, it was an opportunity to say thank you to the RSC for over 60 years of being the global standard-bearer of Shakespeare's works."

— Mark Pigott OBE, RSCA supporter
