Palace Theatre, Art Nouveau theatre in Union Street, Plymouth, England
The Palace Theatre features Flemish Renaissance architectural elements combined with maritime-themed interior decorations throughout its multiple levels and performance spaces.
Originally opening as a music hall in September 1898, the theatre underwent reconstruction after a fire and reopened in 1899 as the New Palace Theatre of Varieties.
Throughout the twentieth century, the Palace Theatre presented numerous theatrical productions and hosted performances by notable artists, including Charlie Chaplin in November 1931.
