We have had a great year, bringing the very best in live theatre to audiences across the world. We staged almost 2000 thrilling performances of 22 productions for more than 1.7m ticket buyers, winning awards, critical acclaim and a hugely positive audience response. We welcomed more than a million visitors to our Stratford-upon-Avon home, maintained a year-round presence in the West End and on Broadway, and toured productions for 48 weeks in the UK and internationally.

We also inspired new generations of young people and theatre-goers with a rich programme of events, exhibitions and educational activity. And we collaborated with hundreds of amateur and professional theatre artists, inviting them to share skills and expertise with us.

This was a particularly special year as it marked the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth and the launch of Shakespeare Nation, our commitment to stage all 36 plays in the without repeats over the next six years. We began the journey with Richard II, and were delighted to win the biggest single audience ever for a Shakespeare performance when we broadcast the production live into cinemas.

We celebrated the Swan Theatre as the home of Shakespeare’s contemporaries and a place for adventurous new writing, with acclaimed dramatisations of Hilary Mantel’s prize-winning novels, and Bring Up the Bodies, ’s A Mad World My Masters and new plays such as The Empress by Tanika Gupta.

And we continued to push the boundaries of theatre and performance, exploring how Shakespeare might approach theatre in a digital age in an experimental collaboration with Google+.

We are proud to make theatre at its best for people everywhere. As we prepare to celebrate the next Shakespeare jubilee in 2016 and make Stratford the destination for the celebrations, we thank everyone who continues to support this great Company. ‘ ’ FRESH, FUNNY, SEXY...

We staged a ‘relaxed’ performance of our world premiere of Ella Hickson’s Wendy & Peter Pan, a new adaptation of JM Barrie’s popular children’s classic.

The performance was specially designed for those with autism and learning difficulties, with a relaxed attitude to noise and movement, small changes made to the light and sound effects, and chill out zones to visit during the performance.
