About Sheldonian Theatre
The Sheldonian Theatre, in the centre of Oxford, England, was built from 1664 to 1669 after a design by Christopher Wren for the University of Oxford. The building is named after Gilbert Sheldon, Warden of All Souls College and later chancellor of the university. Sheldon was the project's main financial backer. The theatre is used for music concerts, lectures and university ceremonies, but was not used for drama until 2015 when the Christ Church Dramatic Society staged a production of The Crucible by Arthur Miller.
