 | | An RSC spokesman said the Albery was "one of the frontrunners" and confirmed that the company was in the final stages of negotiation with the Ambassadors Group, which owns theatres including the Albery, Comedy, Piccadilly, Duke of York's, Wyndhams and the new Trafalgar Studios at the Whitehall Theatre. |
 | | The Albery has a rather more intimate feel than the Barbican, the RSC's previous home in the City of London, but has a prominent position on a busy street that would attract plenty of passing trade. |
 | | The BITE international theatre season continues apace, while Graham Sheffield, the centre's artistic director, is in discussions about a residency for the theatre with Declan Donnellan's acclaimed company, Cheek by Jowl. |
