The Royal Theatrical Support Trust (RTST) is a charity committed to supporting the theatre and theatre-going for the public benefit. Our mission is to promote knowledge, experience and appreciation of theatre and drama, and thereby play a part in securing the future of British theatre.
We seek to fulfil our mission by diverse means, including: supporting new and established theatre companies, including regional and repertory; supporting up-and-coming directors, producers, actors, designers and playwrights; and promoting the works of internationally renowned dramatists, including Shakespeare. We are supported by many of the leading names in British theatre.
