Sheffield Theatres, The Crucible
Sheffield, South Yorkshire, UK
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.
