A modern, purpose-built theatre designed by architect Frank Rutter, the Redgrave Theatre replaced the Castle Theatre in Farnham which had opened for Farnham Repertory Company in 1941, and which operated as a weekly repertory theatre.
Located in the town's East Street, the Redgrave Theatre was named after the actor Sir Michael Redgrave who inaugurated the start of the theatre's construction in September 1971 [REF].
