The Stage
The Stage is not only set to become the most prized and iconic new showcase for luxury living in the Capital, it will also be an international destination, and a new cultural landmark with an historical context that heralds it as the first World Heritage Site in East London.

Architecture
Designed by internationally acclaimed architects Perkins + Will, The Stage will not only feature the 38 storey residential tower, but also three bespoke commercial & retail buildings, an assembly pavilion and Victorian railway arches which will be converted into retail premises including a rooftop coffee shop and gardens. Each element will be connected by 1.1 acres of public piazzas designed around an amphitheatre and central exhibition space that showcases archaeology of the Curtain Theatre.

Archaeology
The remains of Shakespeare’s Curtain Theatre, dating back to 1577, were discovered in 2011, lying three metres below the surface of the development. Archaeologists now believe they could be the best preserved examples of an Elizabethan theatre in the UK.

After seven years of painstaking work, Shakespeare’s Playhouse will once again come alive - to provide London’s greatest legacy to the world’s greatest playwright.
