Description
Southern Lane follows the Avon to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, designed by Elizabeth Scott and built between 1920 and 1932. The old Memorial Theatre, in which almost all of Shakespeare's plays had been produced after 1879, was burnt down. The figures on the facade - Love, Life, Death, Mirth, Faithlessness, War - are by Eric Kennington.
