Royal Theatre
Théâtre à l'italienne
The Royal Theatre, which opened in 1884, was designed by the renowned  Victorian theatre
architect C J Phipps who also designed the Theatre  Royal Bath, The Lyceum in Edinburgh,
Theatre Royal Glasgow and the Grand  in Wolverhampton. It is a Grade II listed building.
Whilst it has a  nominal capacity of 583 seats, its practical capacity is 460 given the 
nature of the seating on the gallery benches. It is a 'producing' house  and is supported
by workshop and wardrobe. In 1927 it became home to the  Northampton Repertory Players and
has run as a producing house ever  since, staging at least six 'in-house' productions each
year. Amongst  many famous actors to tread the boards at the Royal, the most notable is 
arguably Errol Flynn who was a member of Northampton Repertory Players  in the early 1930s.
