David Suchet said: “I am so delighted to be visiting a whole host of new venues in my tour around the UK and Ireland, and I look forward to meeting audiences that I’ve not yet had the opportunity to perform in front of. How wonderful, also, to be doing my Shakespeare once again at the RSC, in the theatre in which I performed 51 years ago when I joined the company and where I have such fond memories.”
