Work continues on the concrete superstructure of the new thrust stage auditorium for the RST as the concrete structures contractor John Doyle works round floor by floor from the riverside to Waterside. Work on the concrete ground slab of the new actors accommodation on riverside has now been completed.
The excavation of the deep substage basement continues downwards into wet conditions below river level. Work continues on the concrete foundations for the new tower which will be built of brick.
The brickwork trade contractor, Lesterose, continues with further restoration work on the pilot section of the newly revealed river elevation of Scott's 1932 theatre.
Sky scaffolding are erecting a temporary access route to the upper levels of the backstage areas. This was used as a backdrop for the launch photograph for the new Transforming our Theatres public appeal logo: see https://www.rsc.org.uk/buyonline/booktickets/support/donate.aspx
