About Drama Theatre
The Theatre Royal sits right in Plymouth's city centre, a proper Victorian beauty that's been putting on shows since 1843. You'll find everything from West End transfers to local pantomimes, comedy nights to classical theatre - the programme shifts constantly so it's worth checking what's on before you visit.
The building itself is worth a look even if you're not catching a performance. Red velvet seats, ornate boxes, that theatrical smell of old wood and anticipation. On a recent visit I watched a production of a classic play with excellent production values and a genuinely engaged audience - no phones, no fidgeting, just good theatre.
It's ideal if you're after an evening out rather than family daytime entertainment, though they do stage pantomime in winter which kids tend to enjoy. Allow a couple of hours including pre-show drinks. Performances vary in price from around £15 upwards depending on what's playing.
If you're staying at Dartmoor Domes just up the road - only 3.2 miles away - the theatre makes a solid evening activity after a day on the moor. Plymouth as a town has improved dramatically in recent years, and the theatre is part of that. Book online to avoid queuing at the box office.
