Theatre Royal

The Theatre Royal is a historical monument which can be found on Grey Street in Newcastle upon Tyne. It was built by local architects John and Benjamin Green and is part of the general urban plan designed by Grainger, an Englishman who wanted to redesign the industrial city of Newcastle back in the nineteenth century. The theater was inaugurated in 1837 and was home to classics by Shakepeare and other English playwrights. Fire destroyed everything inside the theater at the end of the century, but it was quickly reopened and refurbished. The facade remains unchanged, an exact image of the Green brothers' design.
