April – May this year will see a permanent, timber panelled floor being constructed in the main theatre. The black, theatre flooring will be levelled from the south end (Waymouth St entrance) with stairs and ramp access at the north end (Playhouse Lane) to counter the existing sloping floor. The floor construction has taken into consideration the load bearing requirements to allow for staging weights, crowd capacity and scissor lift access.
Not only will it look fantastic, but the level floor will greatly save on labour costs for installing staging and other works.
