A letter from schoolchildren protesting climate change says that the Royal Shakespeare Company "needs young people far more than it needs BP", which sponsors the company's £5 ticket scheme for 16 to 25 year olds. "Shakespeare said ‘the great globe itself shall dissolve’. By endorsing BP, the RSC is allowing his words of the past to become a horrifying reality," the letter says.
