RSC to create outdoor theatrepublished at 16:22 British Summer Time 22 April 2021
The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) has confirmed more details in its plans to build a new open-air theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon.
The Lydia and Manfred Gorvy theatre will host a production of The Comedy of Errors this summer, as the company begins its recovery from the impact of Covid-19.
The specially constructed space will be located in the Swan Theatre Gardens, flanked by the River Avon, said the RSC.
Artistic director Gregory Doran said he hoped audiences would feel safe to return to the theatre with confidence.
