Liverpool’s Royal Court Theatre has secured funding from the Arts Council England Large Capital Grants programme for the third ‘Act’ of AHMM’s award-winning interventions at the Grade II listed theatre. Act III continues improvement works to the front of house areas, creating a larger open bar at the third floor; back of house will also see improvements to facilities and technical equipment. The project will also see the renovation of the basement studio space, formerly the home of the Rawhide Comedy Club, creating a brand new 150 seat studio space for comedy and music events, theatre productions, and rehearsal space for the Youth Theatre and Community Choir. Act III is scheduled to start in May, when the theatre will close its doors until completion later this year.
