Stage backcloths.
The standard at the theatre is for either a white cyclorama (cyc) or black
tabs at the rear of the stage. Either/both of these options are inclusive of the
hire charges for stage users. In addition, we have a set of intermediate black
tabs approx 6 feet from the front of the main stage, 3 black wing curtains
(legs) at each side and the main red velvet house tabs (also included).
There are also two gauzes available (at approx 9m wide by
4.8m high), one white, one black. These are not subject to a hire fee for
users of the Abbey Theatre. Both are also available for hire to external
groups/theatres.
Additional backcloths may be hired by user groups as required from outside
companies such as Border Studios or
Clifford & Brown, but BE AWARE that many
commercial cloths tend to be much larger than our stage can easily cater for.
Please consult a member of the regular
theatre tech crew before ordering cloths or scenery.

Photographs have been taken immediately after hanging with only nominal stage
lighting, so colours WILL vary according to individual lighting states. Also
bear in mind no weight in bottom pockets, so creases WILL hang out.
Most cloths belong to companies resident at the Abbey
Theatre, but can be hired to
companies within or outside of the venue.
Proceeds of any hire to be split between the owners and Nuneaton Arts
Council if booked via the NAC.
