Built 1788, closed 1848, reopened 1963, restored and extended 2003.
The Georgian Theatre Royal is Britain's most complete Georgian playhouse. Built by the actor-manager Samuel Butler in 1788, the theatre was in regular use until 1830 when performances became less frequent. In 1848 it was let as an auction room. Wine vaults were constructed in the pit at about the same time. In 1960 a non-profit trust was incorporated, a public appeal launched and a restoration began. The theatre reopened in 1963. It is Grade I Listed 'as a building of special architectural or historical interest'. Behind the stage, a small theatre museum was expanded in 1996.
Filming location for The Naked Truth, The Krays, Evita and Finding Neverland.

London Weekend Breaks - Shadowlands
http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2007/10/12/london-weekend-breaks-shadowlands
Following on from the idea of theatre breaks in London, weekend breaks are slightly trickier when you work all through week and need to unwind fast. My suggestion therefore is to sneak away as early as possible on the Friday, arriving in plenty of time to get settled in at the hotel and then go out and see something light and uplifting such as one of the popular comedies or musicals. Spamalot, Chicago, Lord of the Rings, Cabaret, Mama Mia, Fiddler on the roof etcetera. You can book the musical, hotel and train tickets all in one go to save a packet. Then on the Saturday afternoon or evening, if you are a true theatre lover then why not take in a second show, perhaps a serious play this time. Just opened for example, is Shadowlands. Shadowlands at the Wyndhams Shadowlands is a serious play about the life of author C.S.Lewis and his relationship as an older man with Joy Davidman, an American poet. It’s an extraordinary love story which is both moving and intense, somewhat tragic but also uplifting on some level. The film version won a BAFTA and the West End play is a rare treat, showing only from now until the 15th of December, 2007 having opened on the 3rd of October. Wyndhams Theatre is one of the grandest of the old West End theatres, which are all grade II listed buildings, both exterior and interior, on the Charing Cross Road, near Leicester Square tube station. Guardian Review: “I found myself more moved this time round than by the 1989 production: partly because it is rare now to find a West End play that addresses the issue of mortality, and partly because of the quality of the acting. …this is a play about a man whose Christian faith is severely tested” Blogger Lloyd Davis enjoyed it enough to twitter about it afterwards: Lloyd is home having thoroughly enjoyed Shadowlands at the Wyndham’s. Matinee theatre performances The main performance is at 7.30pm but there are matinees at 2.30pm on Thursdays and Saturdays. If one were to book the Saturday matinee in advance therefore, or else chance being able to pick up same day tickets, then that might fit in perfectly. A full programme of theatre, comfort and sightseeing to make truly stimulating London weekend breaks with Saturday night still free for relaxing around town and Sunday afternoon to begin making a leisurely path homewards.

Theatre breaks in London
http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2007/09/14/theatre-breaks-in-london
Ever thought about weekend theatre breaks in London? Book London theatre break tickets now, with hotel or travel and meal in any combination via DARnet through London Theatre Breaks It’s well known that in London we have lots of famous old theatres all around the Shaftesbury Avenue area of the West End ‘Theatreland’ as well as Drury Lane, Shakespeare’s Globe and the South Bank complex. Ticket sales have struggled a bit in recent years, particularly during the Americans fear of flying after 9/11 in 2001. They were an important source of customers. The standard of some the shows dropped a bit too, with many of the great musicals being replaced by tribute band shows, but things are looking up again now. Noel Coward From February 2008, for example the great Noel Coward classic of “The Vortex” is playing at the Apollo Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue. Felicity Kendal has been cast as Florence Lancaster. Theatre Deals Londoners themselves often don’t take advantage of the world class entertainment available in the capital, with out of town visitors making up the majority of theatre goers. The best plan is to arrive by train, plane or coach (never by car) and stay in a centrally located hotel so that getting back after the show isn’t an issue. It’s the central hotel which can add massively to the overall expense so that’s why a lot of people look for all inclusive package deal theatre breaks in London, or weekend deals, with just the cost of a restaurant meal or two to find after paying for the break in advance. Restaurants in theatreland are diverse and offer special pre-theatre menus for quite reasonable prices, so you can have a good night out in the area even if you don’t have show tickets for any particular evening. I often find myself wandering up from Charing Cross station and just following my nose, or else revisiting regular haunts. Off West End For those who don’t mind venturing a little further afield than the traditional tourist venues, there are always the Theatre Bars in Islington, Theatre Royal Stratford East, and others mentioned in OffWestEnd where some more challenging, contemporary and economical performances may be found. Book Theatre Breaks in London For booking a show and hotel package deal, with or without discount rail travel I’ve found one site which seems to have the best selection available and also offers a best price guarantee: Book London theatre tickets now, with hotel or travel and meal in any combination via DARnet through London Theatre Breaks . .

Equus at The Gielgud Theatre, London
http://www.flickr.com/photos/anniehall/458713559/in/pool-473288@N25
Super badger with wings has added a photo to the pool:
The gigantic hording (a sign of our times!) around the Gielgud Theatre (corner of Shaftesbury Ave and Rupert St junction) for Equus by Peter Shaffer.
Walking along Shaftesbury Ave, coming from Piccadilly tube, you just can't miss it! A great sight for a London commuter!
The hoarding portrays a fantastic image of Dan Radcliffe's torso graphically mastered into a horse's head - clever!
Dan Radcliffe, Richard Griffthis and Jenny Agutter in this tale of youth and experience. Absolutely 5 star. This play is by far the most outstanding piece of work I've seen in ages. Dan you're the man!
