Theatre Royal Newcastle upon Tyne

The Theatre Royal is the big theatre in Newcastle (although there are several others) and it's interior is vey impressive indeed.

You will also find yourself on a very comfy seat wherever you are and the seats are a stunning red colour. In the foyer, things are no different and the whole area looks incredible which is great because the second you walk in you are immediately ready for whatever quality play is about to be shown.

The highlight of the theatre's annual schedule for me is the RSC season which runs from September to early ...  Read the complete review

Newcastle's Theatre Royal is a stunning Grade I listed building, and one of the most historic cultural landmarks in the country. The theatre opened in February 1837 (replacing the old Theatre Royal) but was destroyed by fire in 1899 (after a performance of Macbeth!)

Theatre Royal Situated in the centre of Newcastle, the Theatre Royal is one of those landmark buildings in the city… great for helping people find their way if you direct them from the theatre. Having spent many evenings at a range of productions, from Shakespeare to The Gruffalo, I have fond memories of this quite magnificent building. ~~Address and other contact~~ 100 Grey Street Newcastle upon Tyne.
