Stratford-upon-Avon | Royal Shakespeare Theatre
Elizabeth Scott, Maurice Chesterton, and John C Shepherd
The redevelopment of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, completed in 2010, was a £113 million project to transform the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre (original architects: Elizabeth Scott, Maurice Chesterton, and John C Shepherd, 1932).

For an inspirational vision statement on theatre architecture, see this introduction by W. Bridges-Adams (1889-1965):
