Welcome to Theatre Royal,
Newcastle upon Tyne

Welcome to the finest drama, the brightest West End musicals, the cream of the comedy circuit, award winning ballet and dance, family friendly shows, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, Opera North and Rambert Dance – and (we think) the best Pantomime in the country!

Welcome to one of the finest and most historic theatres in the UK, built in 1837 and, following a devastating fire, reconstructed in 1901, a Grade 1 listed landmark!

Welcome to the warmest of welcomes – 325,000 people a year can’t be wrong!

Welcome to the Theatre Royal for inspiration and entertainment!

RSC BACK IN NEWCASTLE!

The Royal Shakespeare Company is back at the Theatre Royal in February to open a major UK tour of its new production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew.  Opens 23 February 2012!

***** (5 stars) 'One reels out of this production in a state of giddy happiness' The Telegraph

'Vigorous, lively and inventive' The Guardian

**** (4 stars) 'A jolly night of slap, tickle and gender conflict' The Daily Mail

'The best RSC version for ages' The Stage
