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 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

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.

We remember Dame Penelope with great admiration and gratitude for her contribution to the RSC and to the performing arts.

Our thoughts are with her family, friends and colleagues.

[The RSC @TheRSC]

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.

We are incredibly sad to hear that RSC Honorary Associate Artist Michael Pennington passed away at the age of 82 yesterday.

A Shakespearean to his very bones, Michael’s long & distinguished career with us spanned an astonishing 50 years.
Our thoughts go to all those who knew him

[The RSC @TheRSC]

He first joined the RSC after graduating from Cambridge University in John Barton’s 1964/5 ‘Wars of The Roses’ cycle.

Best known for his Hamlet in 1980, his final appearance here was in 2012, playing John of Gaunt alongside David Tennant in Greg Doran’s staging of Richard II.
