Shakespeare Memorial Company

The Shakespeare Memorial Theatre opened in Stratford-upon-Avon next to the River Avon in 1879, after local brewer Charles Flower donated the land and launched a campaign to build a theatre in the town of Shakespeare's birth, and the Shakespeare Memorial Company was its production company. After the original theatre was destroyed by fire, the New Shakespeare Memorial Theatre opened its doors on an adjacent site in 1932, designed by Elisabeth Scott.

The Royal Shakespeare Company was founded in 1961 by Peter Hall, based in Stratford-upon-Avon and the theatre was renamed the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
