To be or not to be a theatre - The future of Brighton Hippodrome : An investigation of the roles of immediate stakeholders in the case of a building at risk / Att vara eller inte vara en teater – framtiden för Brighton Hippodrome : En undersökning av de närmaste intressenternas roller i fallet av en byggnad i risk

The research investigates those conflicting interests in the future for the Brighton Hippodrome theatre. The building is in a permanent state of disuse since it closed in 2006. It is in poor condition and is adversely affecting its surrounding environment. Though there has not been much happening in regard to the specific building, there have been a lot in relation to it. It has been sold several times, reports being produced, planning applications have been submitted, but its current state remains the same. The stakeholders involved in Brighton Hippodrome has been the subject of a qualitative study conducted through interviews, analysis of documents and articles. The purpose of the survey has been to look at the interests, resources and values of the various stakeholders. As well as when and under what circumstances the stakeholders interact. Through this, different factors and aspects have been identified as presented in text, illustrations and timelines. The result indicates that there are strong forces with sound aspects involved, though they may seem not to, they do share much in common. A major issue is that decisions not being follow through and there is a lack of communication between stakeholders in which ultimately affects the building negatively and prolongs its current derelict state. The current situation might jeopardise what is stated to be of significant value due to the urgency of repair and the rush to find a new use for the building. There is a risk that a future development might leave some stakeholders disappointed if not handled correctly.
