Shakespeare North, Prescot

The location in Prescot celebrates the long association of the Earls of Derby estate at Knowsley Hall with Shakespeare and theatre. The building is set in the conservation area at the heart of the town which includes a fine Jacobean church. It is the flagship for a network of regeneration initiatives for the town.

Inclusive design is at the heart of the design concept. Graeae are a key stakeholder who “boldly place D/deaf and disabled actors centre stage challenging preconceptions”.

Sustainability has been developed using the Breeam template and best practice to create a highly energy efficient and green building.

Shakespeare North is the recreation of the Jacobean Cockpit in Court theatre. Based on an Inigo Jones design the first Theatre Royal was contemporary with the Globe. The 350 seat theatre forms the centrepiece of a contemporary new landmark building which will also be a visitor attraction, the home for a MA course in Shakespearean theatre and a community facility in a shared environment.

The theatre can transform from its authentic historical mode to a contemporary theatre with full lighting grid, the option to allow daylight in and connection with an outdoor performance garden. Facilities include an exhibition space, foyers, bar, bistro, rehearsal spaces, community space, back of house theatre facilities, offices, social learning and seminar spaces.
