UK - The Swan Theatre in Stratford upon Avon, part of the Royal Shakespeare Company, has recently purchased nine Vari*Lite VL1000 Tungsten Profiles. The units will hang inside the Elizabethan-style space as a permanent addition to the lighting rig.

Lighting supervisor Wayne Dowdeswell, who chose the VL1000 units commented: "They offer a broad appeal for us, not only as versatile specials but for more delicate moving effects. It is vital that any fixtures we hang are totally silent, as the audience sits within just a few feet of the rig in our theatre space."

The VL1000TS luminaires have already been used in a number of productions by the RSC but these are the first units they have purchased. Wayne continued: "They offer astounding value at present which was a key factor in our decision."
