Swan Theatre

Inside the Swan Theatre

Opened in 1986, the Swan Theatre is a favourite space for many actors, directors and audiences.

An intimate theatre, it seats approximately 450 people on three sides of a deep thrust stage.

Since our Transformation project, the Swan Theatre now shares its front of house space with the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, with audiences enjoying the same foyer, Box Office, bars and restaurants.

Other improvements from the Transformation include a new over-stage flying capability, new hearing induction loop and re-upholstered seats designed for greater comfort.
