Shakespeare House
Since 1964 Shakespeare House at 93 Kedleston Road, Derby has been our home. By the sixties, this former schoolhouse had ceased to host boarders and was occupied by Claude Gibson, who had been a master at Derby School. Upon his death, his widow offered it for sale to Derby Shakespeare Society. It is now the headquarters of Derby Shakespeare Theatre Company and provides rehearsal and performance space, storage for costumes and props, a workshop for set construction and our meeting room, named in honour of Alan Bates, our most famous former member.
Inside Shakespeare House
The uppermost floors of the building have been converted into flats which we let out to private tenants via an agency.
