Creating An Imaginary World – Theatre Design From Temple to Playhouse by Bertie Pearce

The Arts Society lecture on theatre

Theatre design is a beautiful, varied and lively art form. This lecture looks at the relationship between actor and audience and how this transformed the space and architecture of theatre throughout the ages – from the Greeks to court theatre, the Globe to the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, looking at great architects, practitioners and designers. This lecture aims to bring to life the magical world of theatre.
