Theatre Royal
Newcastle upon Tyne
Theatre
While Newcastle’s Theatre Royal (regional home to the Royal Shakespeare Company) and the Sunderland Empire provide world-class theatre from West End extravaganzas to intellectual dramas, smaller venues such as South Shield’s Customs House, which also houses a cinema and gallery, and the newly refurbished and hi-tech Whitley Bay Playhouse nurture and developing regional talent to provide truly intimate and original performances.
For something a little different in the heart of the city visit Live Theatre, whose recent production of The Pitmen Painters received enormous international acclaim, even enjoying a successful run on Broadway, or Northern Stage, whose eclectic output is a hit with theatre-goers young and old.
