Gdański Teatr Szekspirowski, Theatre complex in Gdańsk, Poland
The theater features a combination of modern and classical design elements, with anthracite bricks, cobblestones, and wooden interiors reflecting traditional architecture.
Established in 2014, the theatre was designed by architect Richard Burton to create a performance space dedicated to Shakespearean works in northern Poland.
The venue hosts the Shakespeare Festival, presenting international theater companies performing classical and modern interpretations of Shakespearean plays throughout the year.
The theater offers guided tours where visitors can examine the mechanical roof structure that opens completely within three minutes, revealing the interior space.
The building contains 1,200,000 individual anthracite bricks and incorporates a transformable stage system that allows multiple performance configurations.
