Shakespeare North
Iconic New Playhouse For Liverpool City Region
Location: Prescott, Merseyside
Contract Value: £3m
Contract Duration: 40 Weeks
Shakespeare North will be Knowsley's tangible link to William Shakespeare and will complete the 'Shakespearean Triangle' of Stratford-upon-Avon, London and Prescot. The project will harness the undying demand for Shakespeare and his work throughout the north of England and beyond.
At the core of the building will be a 350-seat theatre designed in true Elizabethan style with the rest of the building built around the theatre core - effectively a building within a building.
Hampsey were contracted to provide the concrete walls of the theatre and the concrete frame of the surrounding building. The concrete floor of the theatre building was also provided by Hampsey.
Being trusted to provide a complex building-within-a-building design illustrates Hampsey's standing and expertise as a leading concrete sub-contractor. Furthermore, the cultural significance of the theatre was not lost on Hampsey and we took care to ensure that our work paid tribute to one of Britain's most iconic and celebrated people and his work.
