‘This new performing arts space has been fashioned as an inverse to theater-in-the-round. With it, the stage will surround an auditorium. To make that arrangement work, the architects devised a technical innovation, creating an auditorium that rotates 360 degrees, providing a kinetic panorama of the stage.’

Unusually though, the theatre will temporarily occupy Wembley Park with only a 10 year lease, ‘meaning that by 2027, it will dismantle the structure and transport it elsewhere.’
