What Royal Shakespeare Theatre looked like in its prime.
A wide, low-curved red-brick auditorium with a silvery metal curved roofline and a full-height glazed band on the upper floor; to the right a tall rectangular red-brick tower with small square windows and a glazed top section. A modern glass colonnade links the brick volumes and displays the RSC logo. The theatre sits beside lawns and a paved central approach from Bancroft Gardens, with benches, a modern fountain sculpture and riverside planting in front.
