The Rondo Theatre, in Bath, was established in 1989 through the generosity of Doreen and Wilf Williams, who bought the former church hall from St. Saviours Church, Larkhall in 1976 and gifted the freehold to a newly formed charity, The Rondo Trust for the Performing Arts. The building has been converted into a one hundred and five seat theatre, with a bar down the side of the raked seating. In 1996 the theatre received a major lottery and sports and arts grant that enabled the building to be extended to provide dressing rooms, a backstage room, offices and a foyer at the front of the building. In 2003 the theatre received a second lottery grant to install state of the art lighting equipment, finally creating a true professional class theatre. Each year over 80 different companies visit the Rondo, bringing with them a wide variety of theatre, music and performance. Notable successes in the past include the World Premiere of the Theatrical adaptation of The Fisher King in 1999, written and directed by then theatre director Andy Burden.
