Theatre Royal, Historic theatre in Brighton, England
The Theatre Royal features four levels of seating with a capacity of 952 spectators and maintains its original proscenium arch from the 19th century.
The venue received approval from the Prince of Wales in 1806 and opened its doors on June 27, 1807, with a performance of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Ellen Elizabeth Nye Chart made history as one of England's first female theatre managers when she took control of the venue in 1876.
The theatre stands within a 15-minute walk from Brighton Station and offers wheelchair spaces in the stalls section, along with an infrared sound system.
Queen Elizabeth II visited the theatre during its 200th anniversary celebration in 2007 and designated a special box that now bears her name.
