A CONTEMPORARY VISION FOR THE FORMER GRANADA CINEMA, WALTHAMSTOW

CONTEMPORARY VISION:-
                            Its mission is to connect people with Shakespeare and produce bold,
ambitious work with living writers, actors and artists.
Based in Stratford-upon-Avon, home to the Royal Shakespeare and Swan
Theatres (reopened in 2010 after a £112.8m transformation to bring actors
and audiences closer together), the RSC also plays regularly in London,
Newcastle and on tour around the UK and across the world. During 2012,
the RSC produced the World Shakespeare Festival as part of the Cultural
Olympiad.
The company also runs a much-admired education programme, working
with teachers to inspire a life-long love of Shakespeare in young people
and run events for everyone to explore and participate in its work. The RSC
would like to extend these events and activities to more people in East
London. Through partnering with organisations like the RSC, we can bring
excellent arts education provision to Waltham Forest and broaden the
opportunities available to local people.
