what an amazing night. the setting was so inclusive and intimate it changed the whole experience. For the first time I got an idea of what theatre goers in Shakesperean times enjoyed. Tom as expected was superb but supported by performances of similar standard by lesser known actors. priveledged to have been lucky enough to get tickets in the ballot
i have met the most amazing and talented people from here......<3
Wonderful performance of the Tempest by the Young Company. Lovely atmosphere with great seats in the modern styled theatre. Loved the café too!
Wonderful Academy. Been coming here for the last 3 years supporting son number 2. From September 2016 I'll be here again supporting son number 1. I'm a very lucky and proud father.
The great Tommie Grabiec and myself after a staged reading at RADA with The Oxford Shakespeare Company at the request of Ron Song Destro.
Rada is such a divine school. Wish I could stay there forever!!! It's like a temple to me . The absolutely perfect place to be, with the most amazing & brilliant teachers , exquisitely talented students(born to be actors), inspiring you every moment, helping you to create your own masterpiece and shine on ❤ I am eternally grateful and honoured I was a part of it even for a short period. It was just like magic. My soul is singing with happiness 😊
Mesmerised astonished delighted shocked troubled happy exhausted thrilled Clay to Flesh the MA Graduate Piece. Theatre at its absolute best. Saw it by accident and completely bowled over. See it if you can
Its one of the best acting schools in the world. Its a pleasure for me to be and chat with the students over there. Friendly environment.
It's so strange that I feel like i'm home when i hear about the passion that is in our souls when someone speaks about theatre, about heart touching stories. That also you can really see transform a man face and energy when he speaks about it... it's truly breath taking even i'm from across the globe, from México...it is fascinating how we found a home for our soul in theatre, we all are the same... I really want to be part of the true live story of RADA
I was in the audience tonight to see the last performance of your Hamlet at the RADA. Flying from France just to see one of my favorite play directed by Sir Kenneth Branagh and with Tom Hiddelston as Hamlet. I was sitting in the front row and I'm still overwhelmed by the mountain of emotions all the cast put me through. So thank you very much for this particular moment. And for reminding me what acting was really about. Best regards. Ivola
I was at RADA 1964-1966 . The principal then was John Fernald and I still have good friends I met there, Tom Chadbon and Kenneth Cranham.
I love coming to RADA - the shows are amazing. Just saw The Winter's Tale - best one so far. Well done Cascia.
I feel so privileged to have had the chance to train at RADA, which I believe to be the best acting school in the world. Many happy memories to carry with me forever.
Hi, I'm looking for a narrator for an audio arts project about the East End of London.
I'm looking for someone with a trained broadcasting voice, who's also authentically Cockney. So if you have a connection to the East End all the better. PM if you know anyone who might fit the bill. I'll be looking to the record the narration soon! Cheers, Anna
Excellent Academy would love to have gone there but I self train myself in acting and enjoy working with students on projects as a performing artist.
Haven't done stage theatre in years since I left a theatre group but it's something I wouldn't mind going back to in the future.
Best school for acting in the world, best drama teachers in the world, the perfect place to train if you are serious about becoming a successful actor in the future, got nothing else to say, had the best experience of my life this past summer here!
Thanks to FB I'm reconnected to this great cradle of theatre greats!
Such fond memories of 30p matinee of ur student productions just next door to the London U of Edu in Russell Square where I was studying in the late 1970s!
To a foreign drama freak it was a Godsent gift too good to be true!
A wonderful evening which I hope to repeat in the future. Thanks to Vivian for being a fantastically enthusiastic tutor. 👍🎭
Overrated academy. Too many students and tutors of average quality. The building, the staff, the board; it all lacks imagination.
