Stage Electrics wins Globe Theatre contract
- Details
Some of the biggest names in entertainment, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Morecambe and Wise, The Bee Gees, Roy Orbison, T-Rex and Shirley Bassey have all played the Globe. The venue is set to open its doors in November 2020, this time as a 3,000-capacity live entertainment venue with the Heritage Lottery fund contributing £4.5m towards the restoration project.
The project was initially brought to Stage Electrics by Chris Baldwin (ACT Theatre Consultants) to assist with developing the specification and budget pricing. Following Chris’s retirement, Stage Electrics began working directly with Willmott Dixon to develop the original design concept through stage 4 and into stage 5 of the RIBA design stages working closely with the wider design team including the ATG Group, Space Architects, BGP Structural Engineers, Max Fordham M&E and Centre Stage Engineering.
