Working as lead consultants, providing theatre and acoustics expertise, and working in collaboration with architects Carmody Groarke, we applied a unique intervention that converted a classical proscenium arch theatre into an immersive in-the-round arrangement reminiscent of Weimar-era cabaret society.

Interventions to the wider building have included reinstating an accessible entrance route, implementing an exciting audience journey experience throughout the front-of-house spaces and increasing the building’s hospitality functions.
The completed project has revitalised a listed theatre building, extending its design life and widening its outreach to a greater range of audiences.
