| Stratford-upon-Avon is a
town on the River Avon in south Warwickshire, England. In 2001 the town
had a population of 23,676. The town is the birthplace and deathbed
of William Shakespeare and because of its Shakespearian connections the
area is a popular tourist destination, receiving about three million visitors
a year from all over the world. The local district is named after
the town, but the district is called Stratford-on-Avon, whereas the town
is officially called Stratford-upon-Avon. Locally, the town is known as
Stratford for short, and as such can be confused with the Stratford in
the London Borough of Newham. |
| The town is located on the
Avon, on the banks of which stands the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, home
of the Royal Shakespeare Company. The RSC also runs two smaller theatres,
the Swan, which is modelled on an Elizabethan theatre, and The Other Place,
a black box theatre. There is currently also the temporary Courtyard Theatre,
opened in July 2006, which will become the home of the RSC while the RST
is being refurbished, beginning in mid-2007. Early in 2006 The Other Place
temporarily ceased to exist because the space it occupied is being used
as the Courtyard Theatre's foyer space, cloakroom, bar areas, dressing
room and rehearsal space. The Other Place will be reinstated after the
RST refurbishment is complete and the Courtyard Theatre is dismantled. |
| Other tourist attractions
within the town include the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and two contemporary
buildings, Hall's Croft (the one-time home of Shakespeare's daughter, Susannah)
and New Place, which stands on the site of an earlier house originally
owned by the playwright himself. Also within the town is Holy Trinity Church,
where Shakespeare was baptised and is buried. |
