Part of Exchanging Stories, this discussion explores how the Royal Exchange’s iconic architecture has shaped 50 years of bold and inventive theatre-making.
Discover the story behind the iconic Royal Exchange Theatre with Victoria Turner, Director of Levitt Bernstein, the original architects behind the venue, alongside artists who have created work within its extraordinary space over the past 50 years.
Hosted by the Royal Exchange Theatres’ Co-CEO & Artistic Director Selina Cartmell, they’ll explore the bold vision that transformed one of the world’s largest rooms into a home for theatre, the architectural challenges that shaped the iconic module structure, and how its distinctive design continues to inspire new ways of making performance. From staging in the round to reimagining scale, sightlines and audience relationships, this conversation reveals how architecture can unlock creative possibilities for artists and theatre-makers.
