< About

Stage Right is a theatre design consultancy now in its sixth year and led by Flip Tanner. Following nearly twenty years with the Royal Shakespeare Company and work for two of the world’s leading theatre consultants and acousticians, Flip has amassed a significant number of credits and established a great network of talented designers and engineers to collaborate together on venue design projects.

​The range of services we provide includes strategy and leadership for cultural projects as well as the typical services such as venue design and technical system design. Venues for performance are complex buildings and we believe our excellent collaborative skills and a curious and innovative approach, are key components to ensure your project is a success.

The team has experience of working with clients such as the Royal Shakespeare Company, Oldham Coliseum, Oxford Universities, Battersea Power Station Development Company, Shakespeare’s Globe London, Albany Theatre Coventry, The Royal Academy of Music, London, Marlborough College, and Bolton Octagon Theatre. Recent international clients include LaSalle College of Music, The Esplanade, Singapore and Chicago Shakespeare Theatre.

Members of the team continue to practice within the theatre industry in roles such as scenic and costume design, technical design and lighting design. We believe this connection to the industry keeps our feet 'on the stage' and realistic in ensuring the emerging venue design aligns with current best practice.

​​We believe the performance arts are vital for communities to connect with each other and can be inspirational as well as enriching. Our vision is to provide a wonderful container for that magic to happen through our projects, for which it is a privilege to play our part.

We enjoy what we do, and we believe our passion influences the team as we collaborate with clients, artists, musicians, architects, designers, engineers and other specialists in the industry.
