Marlow Theatre Rising from the Ashes

From its demolition in early 2009, construction on the new Marlowe Theatre has been swift. Its £25.6m redevelopment is now on schedule to be completed by autumn next year.

Its new features include a larger 1,200 seat auditorium, combined with a second stage featuring community and educational productions.

This week, Theatre Director Mark Everett promised that the new Marlowe Theatre would be “one of the best theatres in the country.”

Its modern design and state of the art facilities means that it will become a venue for production tours of the highest level. “The major musicals, best opera and largest ballet and dance companies will be among the acts performing” he added.
