    SYDNEY THEATRE REPORT 2015 Steven Hopley [email protected] Released January 2016 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 3 Transparency ........................................ 4 Geographical area ........................................ 4 Profile terms ........................................ 5 THEATRE PROFILES 8 New theatres ........................................ 69 Other notables venues ........................................ 71 SUMMARY 73 Use ........................................ 74 Government area ........................................ 75 Status ........................................ 76 Size ........................................ 77 Hire rates ........................................ 77 Access & red tape ........................................ 79 Recommendations ........................................ 81 2 INTRODUCTION There very nearly wasn't a Globe Theatre and, if this had been the case, most of the plays of William Shakespeare would now be lost. When the owner of the land on which their playhouse, The Theatre, was located tried to seize ownership of the building, Shakespeare's theatre company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, was forced to take the drastic action of dismantling their building in the dead of night and reassembling it outside the boundaries of the city council area. They had already lost their second venue, Blackfriars, because wealthy local residents complained about the noise and traffic it would create; so if they had lost the building materials from the structure of The Theatre as well, the result would almost certainly have spelt the end of the company for which Shakespeare wrote most of his greatest works. And without the renown of his later works, even some of his earlier ones might have slipped into obscurity and been lost to us, like so many other plays from the period. The closure of two performance spaces in the Tap Gallery at Darlinghurst recently was a disaster for the independent theatre sector, but this is the mere tip of the iceberg.
