Description

Beyond traditional drama, the stage hosts new plays, musical works, and guided tours alongside an on-site museum. Attending a show means embracing historical viewing formats, where audiences choose between standing as an affordable groundling or sitting through two-hour performances on backless wooden benches with minimal cushioning. Despite the traditional setup, the space keeps a welcoming, low-pressure atmosphere where visitors can move easily during breaks.
