Theatre Architecture, Stage/auditorium design

[meyerm3d]

Hi Blue room....

 

I'm currently studying Actor/audience relationship and as part of my research I'm looking at various theatre spaces in the uk for a potential book I may be writing.

I am particulary having trouble locating pictures of the old Haymarket Theatre in Leicester UK. This is a venue where I worked several years ago in the lighting department but never managed to photograph the venue. The theatre had a fantastic actor audience relationship in terms of its stage design an I wondered if anyone here has any photos of the old stage (Showing the Semi Thrust and open procsenium, wing spaces, and auditorium) or where I can go to get these pics (if they exist)

After a quick search on Flickr after remembering that I saw a person who takes photos of theatres and cinemas and the like (old and new, standing and demolished), I came up with this for you.

Hope this is of some help to you, if not s/he has more there I think.

 

You will obviously have to get their permission before you use the photos for anything.

 

Regards

Try contacting The Theatres Trust their remit is to oversee all work done to theatres in the UK - I think they they have an archive.
