Details

The theatre is run as a service within the University, which is totally related to the sciences. It is a very flexible studio space at first floor level. Fortunately the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (2004) have been met by the University adding a new external glazed lift shaft to the front of the stone clad building for wheelchair access. It is very popular with students who return after drama courses to work within the building. The immediate environs with millstream and well tended lawns are particularly attractive.
