The Egg (styled as the egg) is a theatre in Bath, built specifically for the use of young people.[1] It was converted from a former cinema and church hall by architects Haworth Tompkins.[2] The Grade II listed[3] Victorian building houses the eponymous 'egg'-shaped auditorium, around which an arts cafe, rooftop rehearsal space and basement technical workshop are arranged. The idea was supported by the children's author Bel Mooney.[4] It opened in October 2005.[5] In 2007, the Peter Hall Company made use of the space in order to stage a production of George Orwell's Animal Farm.[6]
The auditorium is flexible in enabling both fully day-lit or blacked out theatre and is usable end-on, in the round, flat floor and traverse.[7]
