Sewell Barn Theatre, Community theatre in Norwich, England
The Sewell Barn Theatre features three-sided raked seating arrangements, creating a performance space that accommodates 100 audience members in proximity to the stage.
The building started as part of Clare House belonging to Philip Sewell from 1864 to 1906, before serving various purposes including a concert space during World War I.
The theatre maintains connections to literary history through Philip Sewell, whose sister Anna Sewell wrote Black Beauty, reportedly inspired by his mare.
The theatre offers ground-level spaces for visitors with mobility requirements and accepts community support through donations to maintain its theatrical programming.
The venue reached its milestone 200th production in February 2008, presenting a mix of classical and contemporary works through its amateur theatre company.
