High Above

Taking the audience to a level we have never taken them to before. Rorschach Theatre introduces balcony seating. Here are some of the cast and crew of The Beard of Avon, perched above the playing area. For the first time ever Rorschach audiences will be able to get a birds eye view of the action as it plays across the stage.

One of the design elements of The Beard of Avon is to attempt to recreate the experience of seeing Shakespearean theatre the way it would have been seen in The Globe Theater in the late 16th and early 17th Centuries. Have no fear there will still be seating close to the ground, but this upstairs seating may prove to be very popular as it will give the audience the opportunity to see our play in the same way Elizabeathen Nobility would have seen it to remove themselves from the touch of the groundlings and lower classes.
