In this lavishly illustrated hands-on account of the creation of
new theatre spaces spanning a century, Iain Mackintosh offers a
compelling history that is part memoir, part impassioned call to
rethink the design of our theatre spaces and the future of live
theatre. As the originator of theatre designs as diverse as the
Cottesloe in 1977, Glyndebourne in 1994, the Orange Tree Theatre in
1991, the Martha Cohen Theatre in 1985 and the Tina Packer
Playhouse in 2001, he discovered why the same show worked in some
theatres but not in others. It is this unique blend of experience
that informs this account of many of the best-known theatre spaces
in Britain, besides many international examples including the
Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis and the Oslo Opera House. Running
throughout is a consideration of factors which have shaped design
thinking during this time and which demand attention today. After
the long theatre closures driven by the Covid-19 pandemic,
Mackintosh argues that now is the time to discover the routes
travelled over the last century. Published in partnership with the
Society of Theatre Research, the book features a foreword by Sir
Richard Eyre, Director of the National Theatre, 1987-1997.
