Theatre by the Lake in Keswick has beaten the Royal Shakespeare Company in a list of top ten favourite small theatres in Britain.
In the selection of “favourite pint-sized playhouses around the UK” published on the Daily Mail’s web site, Theatre by the Lake features above the Swan, the smaller of the RSC’s two auditoriums in Stratford-upon-Avon.
“We are delighted the Daily Mail has recognised our wonderful location,” said a Theatre by the Lake spokeswoman.
“We are confident that no other theatre in the country can boast any site as spectacular as ours. We are also proud of the work Theatre by the Lake has done since it opened in 1999 and we hope that our nine productions to come this year—including Peter Pan at Christmas—will once more win loud applause.”
