The Rose, Kingston Fill image Address Kingston High Street City Kingston, London Architect St George (shell) Owned by Kingston Theatre Trust Capacity 899 seated Type Thrust stage Opened 16 January 2008 Previous names Rose of Kingston Production Rose Theatre productions and Touring productions www.rosetheatrekingston.org The Rose Theatre, Kingston is a theatre on Kingston High Street in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. The theatre seats 899 around a wide, lozenge shaped stage [1]. It officially opened on 16 January 2008 with Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov, with Sir Peter Hall directing[2]. Hall had also directed an 'in the raw' production of As You Like It[3] within the shell of the uncompleted building in 2004.[4] Contents 1 Design 2 History 3 Graduation Ceremonies 4 References 5 External links Design The theatre's layout is based on that of the Rose Theatre in London, an Elizabethan theatre that staged the plays of Christopher Marlowe and early plays by Shakespeare. It features a shallow thrust stage. Unlike the original Rose, it makes the Elizabethan design more comfortable by adding a roof and modern seats, rather like the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. The front rows of the stall have no seats; patrons bring cushions instead. History The Rose was a project supported by Peter Hall and broadcaster David Jacobs CBE, who serves as chairman of the Rose Theatre Trust. The construction was undertaken with £5m (of the £11m construction cost) support from the local council, involvement from Kingston University, Peter Hall, and the Friends of Kingston Theatre. The shell of the building was provided to the Trust for free by St George PLC as one of the concessions for the construction of Charter Quay, a development on the bank of the Thames. In January 2008, a week after the theatre opened, Hall resigned and it was announced that from April 2008, Stephen Unwin, departing director of English Touring Theatre would take over the role of ‘Artistic Director’, while Hall would remain as ‘director emeritus’.[5] Under the leadership of Stephen Unwin, the Rose has staged an increasing number of home-grown productions. To date, these include Miss Julie, The Winslow Boy, Bedroom Farce and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. A wide range of actors have appeared at the Rose including Jane Asher and Celia Imrie (in Hay Fever), Peter Bowles (in Love’s Labours Lost), Dame Judi Dench (in A Midsummer Night’s Dream) and Timothy West (in The Winslow Boy). In November 2010 the Rose won an award for ‘Best Commitment to the Community’ at the Kingston Business Awards.[citation needed] The same week, Sir Peter Hall won the Golden Seagull award for his contribution to World Theatre at the Evening Standard Awards.[citation needed] The Rose is supported by Royal Borough of Kingston and Kingston University. However, it receives no funding from the Arts Council England. Graduation Ceremonies Kingston University has held it's graduation ceremonies at the Rose Theatre since 2010 (students completing their dergee in 2009); they were, for many years, previously held at the Royal Albert Hall and in 2009 at the Royal Festival Hall.
