Kings Theatre
Théâtre à l'italienne
The dignified and beautiful Kings Theatre - with its Italian Renaissance style of decor - is one of the best examples of the elegant Edwardian playhouses to be found in the British Isles and it has most original features intact.
The Kings Theatre is in the process of refurbishment. Much essential work has already been carried out, and a successful programme, has brought new life to the theatre. The programme will run for a minimum of 38 weeks each year, and when fully restored the theatre will be open for 50 weeks. A full mix of both professional and amateur shows will be presented, including plays, musicals, opera, ballet, pantomime, comedy nights, music nights, childrens shows and productions by local schools. There will be shows for the whole community.
