More about this scene
In 1879 Stratford acquired a striped, turreted, gabled fantasy known as the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre. Mercifully, some might say, it burned down in 1926. A new Memorial Theatre opened in 1932, incorporating surviving parts of its predecessor. It was renamed the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in 1961. In 1986, a second theatre, the Swan, was created in the remains of the 1879 building, as seen in this picture.
