在某種程度上，貝里圣埃德蒙茲皇家劇院的重要性，在于它是英國最后一個(gè)現(xiàn)存的、曾經(jīng)在英國和歐洲各地常見的城鎮(zhèn)劇院。該建筑建于1819年，為留存一種幾近消失的劇院類型而建。這個(gè)在2005年“歷史文化遺產(chǎn)基金”的支持下啟動(dòng)的項(xiàng)目有兩個(gè)目標(biāo)，第一是恢復(fù)歷史悠久的劇院建筑，第二是促進(jìn)19世紀(jì)早期的創(chuàng)作、表演和戲劇的復(fù)興和研究。

The significance of the Theatre Royal lies, in part,in that it is the last remaining example in the UK of a type of theatre which could once have been found in towns across the UK and in Europe.Built in 1819, the building was designed to house a theatre genre which has also virtually disappeared.The project launched with the support of heritage interests in 2005 had two aims, first to restore the historic theatre building and second to facilitate the revival and study of early nineteenth-century writing, acting and theatrical presentation.

從觀眾席上看舞臺(tái)的視角

多年來，該建筑一度遭受了不恰當(dāng)?shù)母慕ê烷L期的廢置，包括被用作附近啤酒廠的分銷店（雖然出租給國家信托基金，但劇院仍擁有永久產(chǎn)權(quán)）。1965年，該劇院部分修復(fù)，從那時(shí)起開始全面運(yùn)營，上演的劇目包括專業(yè)巡演的中型制作和當(dāng)?shù)貥I(yè)余團(tuán)隊(duì)的制作。專業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)團(tuán)隊(duì)要面臨的主要問題，是遺產(chǎn)基金資助恢復(fù)項(xiàng)目的目的是維持一個(gè)運(yùn)作的劇院，而不僅是創(chuàng)建一個(gè)供人參觀的博物館，以滿足當(dāng)代觀眾和現(xiàn)代制作的需求，同時(shí)盡可能地恢復(fù)該歷史建筑的原始面貌。

Over the years the building suffered a series of inappropriate changes and a long period of neglect,including being used as a barrel store for a nearby brewery (it still owns the theatre freehold which is leased to the National Trust).The theater was partially restored in 1965 and since then has been fully operational, housing medium-scale professional touring product and local amateur productions.The problem which faced the design team responsible for the major, heritage-funded, restoration project was that of maintaining a working theatre rather than creating a museum, meeting the needs of current audiences and of modern productions while restoring the historic building as close to the original as possible.

這項(xiàng)工作開始前有一個(gè)密集的考證期。座椅和裝飾已經(jīng)恢復(fù)了原有設(shè)計(jì)，其中包括雙排的包廂和兩層樓座。1965年現(xiàn)代化的舞臺(tái)則保持不變。這個(gè)大型的舞臺(tái)現(xiàn)在配有一個(gè)臺(tái)唇，可將表演者送至觀眾面前，創(chuàng)造了19世紀(jì)后期劇院所沒有的親密感。在此舞臺(tái)框架內(nèi)，制作的設(shè)施也已升級(jí)，所有的舊設(shè)備已被移除并進(jìn)行了全新設(shè)計(jì)。

The work was preceded by an intensive period of research.The seating and decor have been restored to the original design which featured a double row of boxes and two levels in the stalls.The stage,modernized in 1965, remained unchanged.It was already a large one and now has a forestage which draws the performer towards the audience, creating a level of intimacy not found in later nineteenthcentury theatres.Within this framework, production facilities have been upgraded and all services have been removed and completely redesigned.

1819年劇院的外觀

最顯著的變化是在現(xiàn)有場地的附近增加了一個(gè)新門廳，并提供更多的活動(dòng)空間和額外的酒吧及餐飲設(shè)施。除了使劇院體驗(yàn)感更加愉悅外，新的配套設(shè)施還使劇院增加了收入。

The most significant visible change is the addition of a new foyer, adjacent to the existing site and providing more circulation space and extra bar and catering facilities.As well as making theatre visits more enjoyable, the new facilities enable the theatre increased earned income.
