One of the best provincial theaters in the UK, the Theater Royal is situated on Grey Street, the most architecturally striking street in the city. Designed by Richard Grainger in 1837, the current building was refurbished in the late eighties. Its importance can be seen in the yearly residency of the Royal Shakespeare Company and in the breadth of star-name touring productions (drama, musicals, ballet, contemporary dance and opera) that it attracts. The theatre runs a program of extra events: talks, master class recitals, workshops, lunches, and pre-performance suppers. Guided tours of the building can be arranged. The Matchams restaurant offers decent quality food at reasonable prices in elegant surroundings.
