| 説明 | A walk in Liverpool City Centre, from the Waterfront (The Strand) to the Civic Buildings.Royal Court Theatre, soon to be showing Hitchhikers Guide to Fazakerley.Roe Street.Grade II listed building.The Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool SD 3390 ROE STREET 392-0/49/10000 The Royal Court Theatre GV II Theatre. 1938, by J.B.Hutchins; Interior decoration and furnishings by Cohen & Sons of London. Red brick with dressings of Aberdeen granite (roof concealed but probably asphalt or composition). Rectangular plan on corner site, with long side to Roe Street and segmentally-curved north-western corner. Modernist style. Four storeys and attic, 3:4:3 / 1:4:1 / 3 windows in an asymmetrical design made up of 3 symmetrical elements: the main range containing the stage and auditorium, a raised portion to the right of this, and a quarter-drum containing the main entrance and staircase. The facade has a strong rectilinear pattern, with horizontal emphasis provided by banding to the whole ground floor and a plain canopy to most of this carried round, strict horizontal continuity of the windows throughout, and a fluted stone band between 3rd floor and attic and a similarly fluted stone parapet, both interrupted by the raised portion which has similar features at a higher levels; and a subordinate vertical emphasis provided by brick quoining to the main range and the drum, and by vertical grouping of the windows, each group having slender brick shafts through 3 floors and vertically-channelled panels between floors. All the windows are disproportionately small rectangles (reminiscent of the port- holes of a ship); the main range groups them 3:1:1:1:1:3 (except at attic level where the outer windows are single); the raised portion has 1-window outer bays like broad pilasters, each with a relief figure above the top window, and a 4-window panel in the centre with a stone cornice and a central moulded shaft rising through this to the parapet, which is banded and unfenestrated; and the drum has triplet windows, those in the centre almost square. The design of the right-hand return facade is similar to that of the raised portion. INTERIOR: many original features (some in disrepair at the time of inspection, 1991), including: foyer with floor of San Stefano marble bordered with green and black Issorie marble, and walls panelled in light walnut; basement lounge and bar with panelling of olive ash and figured walnut, interconnected by folding doors with engraved glass; cantilevered curved staircase with dado and solid balustrade both smoothly panelled in ash; auditorium with grand circle and gallery both richly decorated, broad reveal to proscenium arch with one pair of round-headed boxes similarly decorated and a coffered ceiling; stage with original revolve (in potentially working order), original flies and lighting board.
