Haworth Tompkins 完成了对德鲁里巷皇家剧院的大规模修缮工程，该剧院被列为英国国家一级保护建筑，亦是世界上最具声望的剧院之一。这项受 LW 剧团委托、耗资六千万英镑的项目经过七年的艰苦研究、分析、设计和施工，使伦敦最宏伟的剧院焕然一新。

Haworth Tompkins have completed a major restoration of the Grade I listed Theatre Royal Drury Lane, one of the world’s most important theatres. The £60 million project for LW Theatres has involved seven years of painstaking research, analysis, design and craftsmanship to bring London’s grandest venue gloriously back to life.

德鲁里巷剧院是英国戏剧史的缩影，该地自 1663 年就开始举行戏剧表演，Benjamin Dean Wyatt 于 1812 年为此设计了第一家剧院。

Drury Lane encapsulates the history of British theatre, Benjamin Dean Wyatt’s 1812 building being only the latest incarnation of a continuous theatrical presence on the site since 1663.

该项目的一大任务是展示和修复 Wyatt 设计的门厅和楼梯，这里可以说是现存最令人赞叹的 Georgian 风格的系列空间。此外，任务还包括将进入礼堂的分散路线平民化，这是近一个世纪以来，人们第一次无需穿过地下室，可以从街道层直接进入礼堂。剧院引入电梯以及畅通无阻的交通空间，确保每位观众都能体验到建筑的宏伟。并且通过开放门厅原有的三侧入口，避免日后拥堵，使门厅前的空间恢复了昔日辉煌。

A central part of the project vision was to reveal and restore Wyatt’s foyers and staircase – arguably the most impressive Georgian sequence of public interior spaces in existence – and to democratise the previously segregated circulation into the auditorium. For the first time in almost a century, the auditorium can be entered directly from street level without needing to go via the basement level. A new lift, along with fully accessible circulation at each level, has ensured that every audience member can now experience the grandeur of the architecture. And by opening up the original foyer entrances on three sides and removing later accretions, the front of house foyer has been restored to its former glory.
