Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford Upon Avon Contract Value £1.8m - Contractor: Mace - Architect: Bennett Associates  "The RSC's ambition is to create a modern take on the courtyard theatres of Shakespeare's day, with a thrust stage auditorium seating just over 1,030 people. The aim is to transform the relationship between artists and audiences, reducing the distance from the furthest seat to the stage from 27 to 15 metres At the heart of the project is a new main stage for the Company, designed with theatre consultants Charcoalblue. The new Royal Shakespeare Theatre will replace the problematic 1932 auditorium, which owes more to cinema than theatre design, and separates the audience from the actors."
