Abstract
This thesis examines how we can design theatres to start to encourage audience participation and reclaim the theatres purpose as a seeing place. Through the analysis of theatre’s history from Greece to present day, the works of various theatre thinkers, an examination of a variety of theatrical works, and a synthesis of all the above this thesis presents a theatre design that brings theatres function back to its origins.
