Redgrave Theatre
Theater
Thanks to the vision of pioneering teacher John Hersee, Clifton College was one of the
first schools in the country to have a purpose-built theatre on site. Today the theatre
continues to serve the three branches of the College and the local community: The Redgrave
Theatre (named after Old Cliftonian Sir Michael Redgrave) seats 320 and hosts more than
40 productions a year. Arguably some of the best of Bristol's amateur and
semi-professional theatre is staged here, and it is also home to the majority of
performances for Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. The theatre offers perfect sight lines
from all seats, allowing for an excellent relationship between actors and audience –
as such it remains one of the most popular venues in Bristol for all types of theatre.
