Urgent replacements will be made to a range of outdated equipment backstage, helping make the theatre more environmentally sustainable, cost-effective and safer to run.

Lighting will be transformed with energy saving fittings throughout and equipment purchased to make it easier to stage and look after the Theatre’s increasing range and volume of productions.

• With zero maintenance costs, it will pay for itself in 5 years.
• Alongside the energy reduction, it will also help in a CO² reduction of 7.69 tonnes.
• The new lighting in the auditorium will improve the light levels whilst maintaining the same ambience.
