Photograph of the scenery workshop making trees for Love's Labours Lost

Today much of our scenic work happens offsite at our warehouses at Albion Docks by the SS Great Britain. Large sets can be built in the workshop, transported to the Theatre for final touches and then installed onstage.

This photo shows final touches being made to the set for a production of William Shakespeare's Love's Labours Lost backStage at the Theatre .
