The British Shakespeare Company are seeking a small live work space (home and office) in Yorkshire. This will be a first stage of moving the company to the North of England as the artistic director wishes to be closer to home especially now that London is full. Please contact us if you can recommend a space, agent or small building to convert in Yorkshire or elsewhere - info@britishshakespeare.com

From time to time the British Shakespeare Company needs legal support. The reasons for this can be as varied as very late payment after a performance (sometimes 6 months late) to a theatre owner selling our mailing list to a rival company (I usually discover this when our relatives start getting leaflets in the post). We have also had another company pass themselves or one of their events off as a BSC event. We are aware a number of law firms attend our shows and perhaps we could come to an agreement for such help such as tying it into a sponsorship deal, a corporate package or programme and internet advertising.

The British Shakespeare Company is the only full cast, professional, open air touring Shakespeare Company in Europe. We are a non-for-profit company that does not receive a single penny in funding. By cutting costs in ways such as this we can continue to tour the very best theatre accross the UK.
If you believe your firm would benefit from supporting the arts in this way or if you yourself could help please contact Robert J. Williamson robert@britishshakeseare.com

Oh…we need an accountant too!
