The Royal Shakespeare Company specialises in portraying the masterpieces of Shakespeare with new spirits on the stage. Thus, this place has a different significance from all other tourist places in Birmingham, maintaining the taste of the Shakespeare drama. The costume department of the RSC used to have the largest workshop in the whole of Britain. For perfect updation, the entity spent around 8 million Pounds and renovated the costume department in 2021.

The prop designers of the company are also excellent, and their workshop is known as the Prop Shop. However, it experienced some troubled times also. In 1968, Nunn left his directorship and transferred the responsibilities to one of the co-artist directors, Terry Hands. After suffering from an acute financial crisis, ultimately, the RSC revived and continued to please the audience. However, the company ended its long-term partnership with BP in 2019 due to the complaints of several school students.
