About

Actors enjoy playing the small space of the Cottesloe as vocal delivery can be quieter and movement somewhat less pronounced. It's adaptable seating means that actors might play in an ‘end-on' format in one production, and then in traverse (with seats facing each other across the stage) in the next.
