Theatre Royal, Grade II listed theatre in City of Plymouth, United Kingdom
Theatre Royal is a theatre in Plymouth with three performance spaces of different sizes: the Lyric holds 1320 people, the Drum studio holds 200, and the Lab holds 50. Each space is designed to suit different types of shows and audience numbers.
The original Theatre Royal opened in 1813 on George Street, designed by John Foulston. The building visitors see today was created by architect Peter Moro and opened in 1982.
The theatre shows dance performances, musicals, and works by local artists throughout the year. It serves as a social hub where people gather to watch plays and other live shows.
The venue has accessible entrances and clearly marked seating areas for all three performance spaces. Booking and ticket access can be managed through a mobile app for convenience.
A large bronze sculpture called Messenger sits at the entrance since 2019, showing a performer in a crouching pose. The artwork stands about 23 feet (7 meters) tall and immediately draws visitors' attention.
