Unlike many other international theatre companies， the rsc operates a repertoire system under which actors take on several roles in a range of plays - nowhere but with the rsc can you see an ensemble of actors facing the challenge of so many different demanding roles across a season.

　　艾冯（avon）河畔的斯特拉福德，威廉-莎士比亚的出生地，侵浸在浓浓的历史和文化氛围中。坐落在艾冯河畔，在美丽而充满田园风光的沃里克郡乡间。

　　如今斯特拉福德最著名的景点应当就是举世闻名的皇家莎士比亚剧院。与其他国际性的戏剧公司不同，这里的演员在演出保留剧目时，会同时出演不同角色——除了这里你再也不会看到，在演出时节，所有演员都要面临需求如此不同的角色。
