Stage specific photos: Bridewell Theatre

Photos taken specifically with audience views in mind.

Bridewell Theatre location photos.

I put together a small mood board of the photos I took at the Bridewell theatre, showing the performance space from all angles as well as taking photos from certain tricky audience sight lines, e.g. the balcony is not visible from the back row seats. Details like this must be taken into account when designing for theatre, as not all the audience will be able to see the same view depending on seating.
These images also show the kind of aesthetic that the building already has in terms of architectural design and colour scheme. These potential details could also be used to the designers advantage when considering the visual narrative of the play, e.g. The stage had a lot of depth to it, which may be used to create physical or emotional distance with the audience within the narrative.

The details of the theatre space included a trap door, a long but narrow stage, little use of wings, Victorian styled architecture from where the space used to be a Victorian swimming pool.
