	Royal Shakespeare Theatre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Royal Shakespeare Theatre is a large theatre dedicated to British playwright William Shakespeare in his birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon.

		In 1993 we assisted the RSC with a study of the noise transfer between the Gulbenkian Studio and the main Theatre Royal at the RSC’s northern home in Newcastle upon Tyne.

		As part of our work with the Royal Shakespeare Company on the feasibility study for a new main theatre, we repeated the 1995 aural demonstration but this time using a young woman actress delivering her lines upstage.

		In a large theatre, however, we became spectators at a defective, helter-skelter tragedy in which much of the real drama is internal.
		For, as Colin Chambers says in his new book, Inside the Royal Shakespeare Company, the question of whether it can once again become a centre of innovation rather than a corporation "is as critical for an increasingly uncertain Britain as it is for the company itself".
