Ticket for the 1828 Shakespeare Club dinner Club President Jeremy Irons with Club members and guests, November 2014. By permission of Richard Morris Gregory Doran and John Sergeant at the Birthday Celebrations

The oldest Shakespeare society in existence reached 200 in April 2024

Full information about the April bicentenary is on the News page. Celebrations continue during the
year, with a new website expected to be launched at the end of the year, and the establishment of
an educational bursary designed to assist students coming to work in Stratford. These initiatives aim
to raise the profile of the Club locally and internationally and to enable it to promote the study and
appreciation of Shakespeare while remaining independent.
The Club is delighted that Sir Gregory Doran, the distingushed Theatre Director and former Artistic
Director of the RSC has agreed to be President of the Club 2024-5.
Meetings are held at the Methodist Hall in Stratford-upon-Avon on the second Tuesday of the month
at 7.30 pm from October to May. Everybody is welcome.
Subscriptions are under review.

 The best way to keep up to date with the Club’s activities is to become a member.

Alternatively, you may join the mailing list. Information can be found on the News Page.
