stratford - on - avon , as we all know , has only one industry - william shakespeare - but there are two distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches . there is the royal shakespeare company ( rsc ), which presents superb productions of the plays at the shakespeare memorial theatre on the avon . and there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who come , not to see the plays , but to look at anne hathaway ' s cottage , shakespeare ' s birthplace and the other sights.
the worthy residents of stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue . they frankly dislike the rsc ' s actors , them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness . it ' s all deliciously ironic when you consider that shakespeare , who earns their living , was himself an actor ( with a beard ) and did his share of noise - making.
the tourist streams are not entirely separate . the sightseers who come by bus - and often take in warwick castle and blenheim palace on the side - don ' t usually see the plays , and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in stratford . however , the playgoers do manage a little sight - seeing along with their playgoing . it is the playgoers , the rsc contends , who bring in much of the town ' s revenue because they spend the night ( some of them four or five nights ) pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants . the sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall.
the townsfolk don ' t see it this way and the local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the royal shakespeare company . stratford cries poor traditionally . nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge . hilton is building its own hotel there , which you may be sure will be decorated with hamlet hamburger bars , the lear lounge , the banquo banqueting room , and so forth , and will be very expensive.
anyway , the townsfolk can ' t understand why the royal shakespeare company needs a subsidy .( the theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row . last year its 1,431 seats were 94 per cent oc

cupied all year long and this year they ' ll do better .) the reason , of course , is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low.
it would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are stratford ' s most attractive clientele . they come entirely for the plays , not the sights . they all seem to look alike ( though they come from all over )- lean , pointed , dedicated faces , wearing jeans and sandals , eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing - room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.
