La tesis central de este libro es que la arquitectura teatral es uno de los ingredientes más vitales de la experiencia escénica, y uno de los últimos en ser comprendidos. El propósito es investigar cómo el ''lugar'' contribuye al éxito escénico o teatral. La función de la arquitectura en el espacio escénico (tanto en un sentido físico como metafísico), así como las opiniones del actor y el público son examinadas, sin dejar de lado lo que los filósofos del espacio teatral han aportado. El libro consta de tres partes. La primera estudia la evolución del espacio en el teatro de habla inglesa desde los tiempos de Shakespeare hasta la creación del escenario thrust stage de Tyrone Guthrie. En la segunda parte se analiza la arquitectura teatral actual, y, por último, en la tercera parte se exponen los motivos de los éxitos que han tenido lugar en el pasado y se introducen propuestas para el futuro.

In this lavishly illustrated hands-on account of the creation of new theatre spaces spanning a century, Iain Mackintosh offers a compelling history that is part memoir, part impassioned call to rethink the design of our theatre spaces and the future of live theatre. As the originator of theatre designs as diverse as the Cottesloe in 1977, Glyndebourne in 1994, the Orange Tree Theatre in 1991, the Martha Cohen Theatre in 1985 and the Tina Packer Playhouse in 2001, he discovered why the same show worked in some theatres but not in others. It is this unique blend of experience that informs this account of many of the best-known theatre spaces in Britain, besides many international examples including the Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis and the Oslo Opera House. Running throughout is a consideration of factors which have shaped design thinking during this time and which demand attention today. After the long theatre closures driven by the Covid-19 pandemic, Mackintosh argues that now is the time to discover the routes travelled over the last century. Published in partnership with the Society of Theatre Research, the book features a foreword by Sir Richard Eyre, Director of the National Theatre, 1987–1997.
