We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of RSC Honorary Associate Artist, Sir Patrick Stewart; a colossus of both stage and screen and one of the finest classical Shakespearean actors of his generation.

We are incredibly sad to hear of the passing of Peter Gill. Peter’s early career saw him play Silvius opposite Vanessa Redgrave as Rosalind for the RSC in Michael Elliott’s 1961 As You Like It, as well as in Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle theguardian.com/stage/2026/a…
Peter Gill, playwright who turned ordinary lives into extraordinary drama, dies aged 86

He later returned to the RSC as a Director in 1974, having spent a period under the wing of the Royal Court’s artistic director George Devine, with a production of ‘Twelfth Night’ and again in 2004 directing Matthew Rhys and Sian Brooke in Romeo and Juliet.

As both a playwright, former Artistic Director of Riverside Studios and an Associate Director of the National Theatre, Peter’s contribution to British theatre was immeasurable. The influence of his artistry and mentorship will live on.

We are deeply saddened by the death of Dame Penelope Keith, one of Britain's most distinguished actors, whose professional career began with the RSC in 1963. She appeared in landmark productions of The Tempest, Richard III and Julius Caesar. theguardian.com/stage/2026/j…

The actor’s sophisticated sense of humour and natural ability to make everyone laugh were there long before her famous sitcom roles
