Info from Wikipedia
The Marlowe Theatre is a 1,200-seat theatre in Canterbury named after playwright Christopher Marlowe, who was born and attended school in the city.
Canterbury City Council was advised moving would cost more than redeveloping on the existing site and in 2005, approved a new Marlowe Theatre. Construction began in 2009 and the Earl of Wessex opened this third Marlowe Theatre on 4 October 2011.
