Our Home is a four-metre mural in the renovated Rialto Bridge, created by London-based muralist and storyteller Vic Lee.

It tells the history of our site in Stratford-upon-Avon, spanning from Garrick’s Jubilee Pavilion to the theatre buildings still standing today. The artwork combines elaborate drawings of past and present buildings with intricate typographic lettering and Shakespearean quotes.

The mural was realised on site and is completely drawn by hand, using water based permanent acrylic ink and paints.

Head to the Rialto Bridge in the historic Swan Wing to see this fantastic artwork, find the 12 peepholes hidden in the wall and discover how our the theatres have changed through the ages.
