...the Main House, the Ustinov and the egg.
The programme in the Main House comprises first class drama and opera featuring famous theatrical names from around the world, as well as comedy, music and dance. The list of names who have played at the Theatre Royal reads like a ‘who’s who’ of theatre and film. Famous names to have appeared on stage here recently include Ian McKellen, Maggie Smith, Lauren Bacall, Anthony Hopkins, Vanessa Redgrave and Joan Collins.
The Ustinov theatre is where you’ll find performances that are far more adventurous and innovative by some of the finest new theatre companies in the country as well as home-grown productions, including ‘cutting-edge’ drama, music, comedy, poetry nights, new writing and even film.
The egg theatre is dedicated to performances for children and young people, as well as families. The egg is purpose-built as a theatre space for young people, enabling youngsters to benefit from a programme rich in culture and art. There are workshops and acting groups especially for young people. Naturally, this is where the annual pantomime provides such hilarious entertainment.
The Theatre Royal is a focal point for theatre and the arts in this part of the West Country and is well worth a visit when staying at Beechfield House, the luxury hotel near Bath and Chippenham. If you’re coming to stay, you ought to check on what's on at the Theatre Royal.
