Iirc (and I’m going by memory from some years back) the issue with the Barbican was that the original set was too cumbersome and revolved too slowly, so there were huge gaps between the scenes.
3D modelling, yes some theatres use that and I assume the NT is one (no personal experience) but it doesn’t tell you what the play will feel like or look like when you first see it in person and the actors stand on the stage for the first time. If UK theatre had the budget for lengthier rehearsal periods and proper time to rehearse on the stage, like they do in other countries, I don’t think we’d have these problems.
