Royal Shakespeare Theatre
Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Shakespeare stage theater in Stratford-upon-Avon, England
The Royal Shakespeare Theatre presents performances on a thrust stage that brings actors within 20 feet of every audience member in its 1040-seat auditorium.
Elisabeth Scott designed this Grade II listed building in 1932, becoming the first woman to create a significant public structure in Britain.
The theater stands as the principal venue of the Royal Shakespeare Company, presenting both traditional Shakespearean works and contemporary productions throughout the year.
The complex includes a rooftop restaurant, observation tower, exhibition space, and wheelchair access facilities for visitors attending performances and exhibitions.
The theater incorporates sections of the original 1879 Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, which now function as conference and rehearsal spaces within the building.
