Orange Tree Theatre

The Orange Tree Theatre is a 172-seat theatre which was built specifically as a theatre in the round. It is housed within a disused 1867 primary school, built in Victorian Gothic style.

The theatre was founded in 1971 and exclusively presents its own productions. It also operates an educational programme called Shakespeare for Schools and runs a trainee director scheme.
