Royal Shakespeare Company threatened with boycott over BP sponsor

School climate strike activists call on theatre group to sever ties with oil firm

School climate protesters who took to the streets in huge numbers across the UK last week are threatening to boycott the Royal Shakespeare Company over its sponsorship deal with BP.

In a letter being sent to the RSC on Thursday, a group representing young people in towns and cities across the UK, says it will launch a boycott campaign unless the theatre company severs its ties with big oil.
