Today’s Timeout looks back at Brighton’s much-loved Theatre Royal in New Road.
Does anyone know any more about any of these people and productions at the theatre, or the time when the front door was smashed?
The Theatre Royal is Brighton’s largest theatre and one of the oldest in the country.
The Regency venue opened in 1807 with a production of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
Actor Henry Nye Chart bought it in 1854, before his wife took over in 1876 when he died.
It was purchased by David Land in 1984 and then the Ambassador Theatre Group in 1999.
Does anyone know any more about any of these photos?
Which play does the set being vacuumed belong to, for example?
