A £22m project to revitalise the South West theatre has been announced

Salisbury Playhouse has unveiled plans for a major multi-million pound redevelopment as it marks its 50th anniversary. The venue – one of only three full professional producing theatres in the South West – is proposing to spend £22m on a programme of significant upgrades that will take place over the next three years.

The ‘Stage the Future’ project sets out an ambitious vision for the Playhouse that will see it become net zero and fully accessible, with revamped technical facilities, wardrobe and workshop spaces.

It has also committed to developing “the next generation” of theatre-makers.

Rosa Corbishley, co-chief executive and executive director, said: “This is a pivotal moment for the Playhouse – it’s a chance to honour five decades of world-class theatre and ensure the next 50 years are even greater.

“Our community wants the Playhouse to thrive, and as one of the South West’s only full professional producing theatres, we are a core backbone of British theatrical talent.”

More than 200,000 people from around the UK visit Salisbury Playhouse every year – and it delivers 350 performances annually.

It also runs a community and education programme – known as Take Part – that helps thousands of people, including those from under-represented communities and those with special educational needs or disabilities, to experience the theatre.

The Playhouse said that investing in “world-class” production facilities would create pathways for emerging artists and technicians.

Gareth Machin, co-chief executive and artistic director, said: “Investment in this redevelopment is vital in unlocking our full producing potential – enabling bolder, more ambitious work, and securing the Playhouse as a cultural cornerstone of the South West – for artists, for audiences, for generations.”

The Playhouse has welcomed major stars to its stage over the years including actors Ewan McGregor, Ruby Wax and Rupert Everett, and the late Timothy West and late Prunella Scales.

The theatre is also one of Salisbury’s largest employers, supporting around 350 jobs, and claims to have contributed an estimated £40m to the local economy.

John Glen, MP for Salisbury, added: “Local theatres have the power to galvanise communities, but they also drive economic growth and nurture the grassroots talent that feeds British theatre.

“The transformation of Salisbury Playhouse will secure that mission for generations, developing the talent of today, inspiring the artists of tomorrow, and bringing communities together. Supporting this campaign means ensuring the Playhouse remains open and accessible to all – for the next 50 years and beyond.”

The block deal saw Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund and JPMorgan (Taiwan) Eastern Technology Fund collectively acquire 33.33 lakh shares at a weighted average price of Rs 300 per share.

Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund purchased 21.66 lakh shares worth approximately Rs 65 crore, while JPMorgan (Taiwan) Eastern Technology Fund acquired 11.66 lakh shares valued at around Rs 35 crore.

The seller in the transaction was Peak XV Partners Growth Investments III, which offloaded its entire 33.33 lakh-share stake for nearly Rs 100 crore.

Despite Friday’s sharp rally, Go Digit Insurance has remained under pressure over the past year, with the stock declining around 10% during the period. The company currently commands a market capitalisation of Rs 27,993 crore.

The stock’s 52-week high stands at Rs 381.40, while its 52-week low is Rs 295.50.

On the valuation front, Go Digit Insurance trades at a Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of 49.28 and a Price-to-Book (P/B) ratio of 6.51, reflecting premium market expectations for the insurer’s growth prospects.
The company delivered a robust financial performance in the March 2026 quarter. Revenue rose 9% year-on-year to Rs 3,181 crore, while net profit surged 49.2% YoY to Rs 173 crore, highlighting improved profitability and operational efficiency.The shareholding pattern for the March 2026 quarter reflected mixed investor activity. Promoters marginally reduced their stake in the company from 73.03% to 73.01%, while Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) trimmed their holdings from 8.26% to 8.01%. In contrast, mutual funds increased their ownership from 8.02% to 8.28%, signaling continued confidence from domestic institutional investors despite the reduction in foreign investor participation.

From a technical perspective, the stock’s Relative Strength Index (RSI-14) stands at 40.8. An RSI below 30 is generally considered oversold, while a reading above 70 signals overbought conditions.

Go Digit Insurance is currently trading above 5 out of its 8 key Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), suggesting improving near-term momentum. However, the stock remains below its 100-day, 150-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating that long-term trend confirmation is still awaited.

The sharp rally following the Rs 100-crore block deal and increased mutual fund participation has put Go Digit Insurance back on investors’ radar. Market participants will closely watch whether the stock can sustain momentum and reclaim key long-term resistance levels in the coming sessions.
