Sheffield Theatres, The Crucible

Sheffield, South Yorkshire, UK

The Crucible marks Theatre Projects’ second major design as a company. Along with the National Theatre, this space stands as one of our most significant early theatres.

The venue is a celebrated cultural landmark housed within Sheffield Theatres: a complex committed to bringing world-class performance, sport, and more to its community. The Crucible is a thrust stage, inspired by the design work of Sir Tyrone Guthrie. This versatile, 980-seat house also converts into a sporting arena where the World Snooker Championship is held every year.
