The Shed is a temporary venue in front of the National Theatre from April 2013 – February 2014. Celebrating new theatre that is original, ambitious and unexpected, it will present work by theatre-makers familiar to the NT as well as emerging voices; and provides a third stage during the Cottesloe Theatre's closure for the NT Future redevelopment. The Shed will have 225 seats at £12 and £20. Conceived by architects Haworth Tompkins and theatre consultants Charcoalblue, The Shed was designed and built in little more than a year, a collaborative process between the building designers, the National Theatre, and theatre-makers who will work in the space, in a way that more closely resembled a theatre show than a conventional construction project. Its temporary nature, building on Haworth Tompkins' earlier temporary projects like the Almeida Theatre at Gainsborough Studios and King’s Cross, permits a structure that can be seen less as a building than as an event or arts installation - a vibrant intervention on London's South Bank.
