Story
The Royal Shakespeare Theater was founded in 1932 on the grounds of the old Shakespeare Memorial Theater (opened April 19, 1879), which was destroyed by fire on March 6, 1926. New theater named the same as the old one. The architect for the project was Elizabeth Scott. The theater was the first important architectural project in England, realized under the direction of a woman. In 1961, one year after the establishment of the Royal Shakespeare Company, the theater was renamed the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
The theater building, designed by E. Scott, had an Italian box stage, and the capacity of the auditorium was 1,400 seats, located in three tiers (ground floor, mezzanine and balcony). Two tiers were later added on the sides, the stage was extended beyond the proscenium with the help of an additional platform. The seats on the balcony could only be reached by a special additional staircase. Several Art Deco elements can be seen in the architecture of the theatre, such as the staircases and corridors on either side of the auditorium. The theater building is listed as a Grade II building ( historical Buildings special interest).
The Royal Shakespeare Theater and the Swan Theater are located on the west bank of the River Avon at Bancroft Gardens, overlooking scenic view to the river. The rooftop restaurant and bar overlooks the river and Bancroft Gardens.
Reconstruction
The renovation of the Royal Shakespeare Theater cost the Royal Shakespeare Company $112.8 million. The renovation project included the creation of a new auditorium with 1040 seats, a stage extended into the auditorium that allows viewers to be more involved in theatrical action, the distance to the last place decreased from 27 to 15 meters. The reconstruction project also planned to improve the Swan Theater, create whole line new public venues, including a new riverside cafe and rooftop restaurant, a 36-metre-tall observation tower, and improved backstage facilities for actors and staff. The new theater has also become more accessible to people with disabilities.
This is a "one-room" theater, which allows actors and spectators to be in the same space, as was the case during the first productions of Shakespeare's plays. The stage is extended into the hall, so that the audience is located on three sides of the stage. This feature of the theater creates a more traditional environment for watching Shakespeare's plays, and allows the audience to become closer to the actors and be more involved in the theatrical action.
The sources of funding for the project were various organizations, including Arts Council England, and regional development agency Advantage West Midlands, as well as successful public campaigns to collect Money. The redevelopment project also included the creation of a temporary backyard theater for home theater performances in Stratford-upon-Avon while the Royal Shakespeare Theater and the Swan Theater were closed, as well as the creation of new offices on Chapel Lane and kindergarten, and refurbishment of the rehearsal rooms on Arden Street. The project cost around £100 million and was also supported financially by the Royal Shakespeare Company of America and its board of directors.
Plans for the renovation of the theater were finalized and extensive renovation work began in 2007 and was scheduled to be completed in 2010. From the Royal Shakespeare Company, a special team took part in the project, headed by project director Peter Wilson MBE. Other team members: companies Bennetts Associates(architects), Buro Happold (transport engineers and consultants), Charcoal blue(theater consultants), Mace(construction managers), Acoustic Dimensions(Acoustic consultants) Drivers Jonas Deloitte(project management and consulting on strategic planning) And Gardiner and Theobald(budgeting and project supervision).
In the meantime, performances were held at the temporary courtyard theatre, which was a full-size working prototype of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, built on the grounds of the Royal Shakespeare Company's studio theater.
The new theater opened after reconstruction in November 2010. The theater began screening Shakespeare's plays from the Royal Shakespeare Company's repertoire in February 2011; The first new productions based on works written specifically for the Royal Shakespeare Theater stage began in April 2011, together with the performance of Macbeth by Michael Boyd, as part of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Royal Shakespeare Company, which ran from April to December 2011.
The Royal Shakespeare Theater was officially opened on 4 March 2011 by Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain and Prince Philip, who took part in the performance and performed the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet.

The history of the theater in Stratford-upon-Avon began in 1879 with its opening on the site of the present building of the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, where festival performances were staged several times a year. Particularly notable were the performances of the troupe F.R. Benson presented on this stage from 1886 to 1919. The theater was built with the financial support of the family Flower, whose members to this day continue to take an active part in the management of the theater.
In 1919, at. Bridges-Adams became the artistic director of the festival. In 1925, by royal decree, the charter of the theater was established as non-profit organization. A year later, the building burned down, and modern theater received the first spectators in 1932. The theater was directed by: B. Eden Payne 1935 to 1942 by Milton Rosemer in 1943 by Robert atkins 1944 to 1945, Barry "Jackson 1946 to 1948, Anthony Quayle 1948 to 1952, Anthony Quayle and Glen Byam Show from 1952 to 1956 and from 1956 Glen Byam Shaw. Peter Hall, who became director in 1960, won the support of the Arts Council and organized a company on a semi-permanent basis, the London venue of which was the Aldwich Theater.
In 1961, the theater received the name of the Royal Shakespeare, headed by Michel Saint-Denis (Michel Saint-Denis) and Peter Brook. Trevor Nunn was its artistic director from 1968-1986, then succeeded by Terry Hands. The theater has become main stage for the production of the Shakespearean repertoire in the UK. The company occasionally staged plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries in Stratford-upon-Avon, dramaturgy different eras on the stage of Aldwich, toured widely at home and abroad, and also carried out experimental productions in studio theaters.
