Built in 1805, the Theatre Royal Bath is one of the oldest and most beautiful theatres in the country. Home to an exquisitely-restored main auditorium; the state-of-the-art Ustinov Studio; and the much-acclaimed egg theatre, the Theatre Royal is open all year-round. In the Main House, expect to find many productions prior to or post West End including drama, comedy, opera and dance, in addition to frequent Sunday concerts and a traditional Christmas pantomime. Interspersed with an inspiring diversity of drama, music and comedy, the Ustinov Studio presents seasons of brand new in-house productions which are new to British audiences and from both classical and contemporary writers. The egg will delight with an extravaganza of performances and workshops for children, young people and their families. Backstage tours of the Theatre Royal take place on the first Wednesday and Saturday of each month. [image credit: Freia Turland]
