The Royal Court Theatre has had extensive and imaginative plans drawn up by architects Allford Hall Monaghan Morris for a thorough restoration and extension to the theatre costing £10,650,000 spread over four phases. The first of these is a restoration of the auditorium to it’s original 1938 design, colours and concealed lighting scheme. Then a new entrance foyer will be constructed to relieve the very cramped existing box office. The final two stages are Vertical Connection to link all areas of the theatre followed by a new venue on the roof, commanding “stunning” views across the Liverpool skyline.
