Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Jerwood Vanbrugh Theatre
London, UK
Mark Tupper
We worked closely with the architects to redesign RADA’s Jerwood Vanbrugh Theatre to incorporate adjustable features and to enable it to convert into two rehearsal rooms when needed. The Malet Street entrance to the theatre was also remodeled, and a box office, foyer, and cafe bar were added. The venue also includes an 80-seat flexible theatre and a 60-seat studio theatre.
