The RSC approached TAIT with the challenge of automating their production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night at London’s Barbican Theatre.
TAIT Navigator and our Polaris console were deployed alongside BT2 winches from our extensive reconfigurable inventory, to automate a nine tonne pipe organ wagon.

A striking backdrop for the show’s action, this was supplemented by one of our performer flying winches, which added a dynamic and further comical element to Shakespeare’s fantastical world as dreamt up by James Cotterill.
