Theatre Royal Newcastle

The Theatre Royal Newcastle was granted its Royal licence by King George III. And opened on Drury Lane off Mosley Street in 1788 and soon established itself as one of England’s leading theatres.

In February 1837, the Theatre moved to Grey Street, a flagship building in Grainger and Dobson’s famous city plan. It  is generally regarded as the finest Theatre façade in the UK.  It later combined with a fine 1901 auditorium by the great architect, Frank Matcham. Following the original interior had been destroyed by fire during a performance of Macbeth in 1899.

Many great names of the English stage have trodden its famous boards; from Keane to Irving, Olivier to Dench as well as Hollywood greats Orson Welles, Charlton Heston and Jack Lemmon. Sir Ian McKellen once described Newcastle Theatre Royal as his favourite theatre.
