The Stage covers a 2.5-acre site within the London Borough of Hackney, close to Norton Folgate and includes listed buildings both on and adjacent to it, contributing to its unique character that is defined by both history and culture. The site includes the remains of London’s second Elizabethan playhouse, the Curtain Theatre. The remains date from 1577 and it is believed the stage was used for Shakespearean plays during the playwright’s heyday and where both Romeo and Juliet and Henry V were first performed.
