Covering numerous reincarnations from Sir Christopher Wren’s first theatre on the site to Benjamin Wyatt’s 1812 building which now houses the majority of the public foyer spaces – some of which have been compromised by later additions.
The re -seated auditorium will become far more theatrically effective, significantly improving the actor/audience relationship by adjusting the tier front geometries and bringing the stage further into the room. Legroom and sightlines will be improved by re -raking and reconfiguring the seating galleries. The scheme will ensure that the new foyers will be more comfortable, more flexible and more enjoyable for audiences and visitors throughout the day.
Banyards were engaged as the clients commissioning validation engineers on this iconic project.
