Join the British Shakespeare Association or Renew Membership

We depend on our membership and we welcome members from all over the world and from all walks of life. Our members include leading scholars, teachers, theatre practitioners and enthusiasts. If you would like to join us, the cost of annual membership is £25 (or £15 for students, OAPs and other concessionary groups).

In addition, membership entitles you to a significant discount on the Journal of the BSA, published by Routledge. This scholarly journal includes academic articles and reviews. A year's subscription to the journal is £15 for members. Members who subscribe to the journal will receive a hard-copy of the journal, which is usually published in January.

Our membership year runs from September to September evey year, with a six-month grace period to renew. Membership entitles members to vote at AGMs and to participate in BSA committees. Reminders will be sent out in September for members wishing to renew their membership.

To join the BSA, select your membership level (with or without the journal) from the drop down list below. You must also enter your full name into the box below to sign our terms and conditions. Then click 'pay now.' This will take you to Paypal to complete your transaction. Renewals

If you are already a member and wish to renew, just follow the same process as new members.

You do not have to sign up to paypal to use this service. Just click 'continue' on the paypal page.

Once you have paid you should receive an automatic confirmation of payment email. The BSA will be in touch with new members shortly afterwards, usually within 2 weeks of joining.

Membership Dues

In making this membership application, you agree to underwrite the limited liability of the charity in the event of its failure, for the sum of £10 per member as agreed at our AGM on 31 August 2007. This undertaking offers protection by way of a ˜limited liability' to members against further claims if the company/ charity is put into liquidation.
