This important Grade II* listed building is one of the oldest working theatres in the country. Although it has been constantly upgraded and altered, it retains many historic features including an exquisite auditorium dating from the 1860s.
The theatre has always been a first choice for producers trying out plays prior to a West End run. The greatest stars of the twentieth century from Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud, to Marlene Dietrich and Rex Harrison appeared here.
Recently the theatre has presented Waitress, Operation Mincemeat and Brie Larson in Elektra.
