Crucible Theatre, Sheffield (Est. 1971)

Sheffield Theatres

55 Norfolk St, Sheffield, South Yorkshire S1 1DA, England

Date Opened: 1971   Confidence Level  

Located in the city centre of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. Opened in 1971 under the artistic direction of Colin George, the Crucible Theatre replaced the small though well regarded Sheffield Playhouse on Townhead Street, home of the Sheffield Repertory Company. The theatre today seats 980 and features a thrust stage whereby the audience sits on 3 sides but no member is more than 22 yards (20 metres) from the performers. Consequently, spectators have an intimate relationship with the activity on stage. The Crucible is a producing theatre, meaning shows are designed and rehearsed in-house. It was refurbished between 2007 and late 2009 and officially reopened 18 February 2010. As well as theatrical performances, it hosts the most prestigious event in professional snooker, the World Championship.
