Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory

"...after eight unsubsidised years of first-class productions isn't it time the Arts Council realised it should be funding on the basis of merit, not geography?"

Patrons

Become a Patron of Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory

Patronage has been a very valued source of income from the company's beginnings. Gifts on this scale are not made casually, but we believe that an opportunity to make such an immediate and effective contribution towards our company and the cultural life of the region will be welcomed. The commitment could be for one season only, or for longer. As a registered charity Government Gift Aid adds a further 25% to all Friends’ subscriptions from U.K. taxpayers.

Donate £500 and become a Patron for a season:

In turn, you will be welcomed into the company with invites to our, Press Nights & after-show parties as well as many other benefits listed below: 

- Priority booking
 
- Personalised ticket reservation through the SATTF office and free ticket postage

- Free programme for each production
 
- Receive a copy of the Artistic Director's Annual Report

- Invites to the Director's Talk at the beginning of the season 
  In 2014 Artistic Director, Andrew Hilton was in conversation with Honorary SATTF Patron, Sir Christopher Frayling, as part of our 15th Anniversary celebrations 
 
- Acknowledgement in our seasonal programmes & the Director's Report

- Annual company Newsletter

Direct Debit

We would really appreciate it if you would consider signing up to our new Direct Debit scheme. Its first three years have been a great success for us and has been warmly received. Direct Debits reduce our workload and with a skeletal staff of two in the office, it is much appreciated. Payment leave your account on a date of your choosing. Please download this form and send back to us at the address below.

It is totally secure and you will also be given the option of 'Gift Aiding' your donation.

Make sure you DO NOT tick the 'give anonymously' box or we shall be unable to give you any of the benefits of your chosen scheme! CAF will guide you quickly and easily through payment and the Gift Aid Tax Declaration. This is a time-saving way for us to collect money - the Gift Aid comes directly to us with your donation, rather than us having to claim it from the Inland Revenue at a later date.

Please note that although payment may go through immediately, it could take up to a week to process your subscription.

Thank you for your generosity and support. Click on Donate now.
