If you wish to support us further, Patron Membership allows you to play a very special role in what we do. By offering a greater level of support to our company, you play an integral part in funding projects and productions, allowing us to continue vital work.

Our Patron Membership levels reflect the craftsmanship behind Shakespeare’s First Folio. From the diligent scribes who first put pen to paper, up to the final, acclaimed First Folio itself, similarly our Patrons play a significant part in making Shakespeare accessible to all.

Because of our Patrons we’re able to expand our education, access, community and outreach work, sharing the power of Shakespeare with people around the world.
