Which staging style, used at 'The Round' in Newcastle upon Tyne (closed 2008) and at the Theater in the Wild at Hong Kong Disneyland, seats the audience on all sides of the performance area rather than in mostly in front of the stage?

Question

Accepted Answer

Theatre-in-the-round. Theatre-in-the-round places the audience on every side of the stage, forcing directors to block scenes so every angle reads. It has been championed by Stephen Joseph in Britain and by Margo Jones in the United States, and shaped venues like Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre and Manchester's Royal Exchange.
