in the round
Audience on all sides
In the round describes sculpture or theater where the audience can view from all sides, not just the front.
A statue in the round is freestanding, not attached to a wall.
Theater in the round places the stage centrally with seating surrounding it: The play was staged in the round.
By extension, to consider something in the round is to examine it from every angle, comprehensively.
