Now more than 200 years old, the beautiful Georgian Theatre Royal offers a year-round programme of top-quality drama, opera, comedy, dance and frequent Sunday concerts. The Theatre Royal also houses the egg Theatre for children, young people and their families and the egg Cafe (open throughout the day); the newly refurbished Ustinov for cutting edge drama, comedy and music; the Vaults Restaurant (for pre-show dining); and the historic Garricks Head Pub.
The Theatre Royal's many regular events include the Shakespeare Unplugged festival (March 2008); the Peter Hall Company Season (Summer 2008) and a traditional family pantomime at Christmas.
