Richmond Shakespeare Society

Richmond Shakespeare Society is a volunteer-run theatre company and registered charity based at the Mary Wallace Theatre on the Embankment in Twickenham, founded in 1934 by Gladys Eriksen to stage open-air Shakespeare. It presents about eight productions a year, from Greek drama and Shakespeare to modern plays, plus a summer outdoor Shakespeare and a Young Actors' Company showcase.

Open auditions are held regularly and no experience is required; volunteers also work on lighting, sound, stage management, costumes, set building, the bar and front of house.
