The new exhibition concept is set to explore all aspects of theatre making: from writing plays, to costume design and production, lighting, set design, music, rehearsals and direction. Apart from focusing on the process of theatre, the exhibition will also contain relevant objects from the rich collection of the Royal Shakespeare Company, such as costumes and stage sets. By mixing pieces from the collection with interactive installations, past and present will be connected, and visitors will be invited to actively take part in the process of making theatre.
Although the exhibition will mainly be housed in the Swan wing of the Royal Shakespeare Company building in Stratford-upon-Avon, it will also extend to some other public spaces around the premises, including the Swan Bar.
The exhibition is expected to open in 2014.
