    Pavilion Theatre Brighton - Theatre Royal, Brighton

    Pavilion Theatre Brighton

    (5 reviews)

    The Pavilion Theatre is a mainstay of the Brighton theatre scene, and well worth a visit. Their…read moreshows are run through the Brighton Dome, so of a consistently high quality, without costing the earth to go see. A frequent venue for fringe theatre all year round, as well as big events during the Brighton Festival and Brighton Comedy Festival, the Pavilion Theatre is an great alternative to the above-a-pub theatre Brighton is famous (notorious?) for. Most shows at the Pavilion are inexpensive, and it is normally used more smaller comedians or companies, even some ambitious amateurs. The venue's policy about what goes on seems to be quite open: even smaller shows are given a chance. This may be the Dome's reach-out to the local theatre scene, and it couldn't be a more fitting fringe theatre space. The stage is large and open, as deep as it is wide, which makes it ideal for plays and performers who like a nice big stage space: dancers, plays with large casts, etc. With a large number of raked seats, the Pavilion Theatre can seat more than a traditional fringe theatre, making it ideal for some of the larger acts as well. This balance is held nicely, with various acts throughout the year using it appropriately: there's clearly a good management policy behind this space. I have seen some great shows here, and recommend everyone to have a look-see whats on! Their programme is varied enough that there should be something for everyone, and nothing really beats live entertainment. With a nice little bar at the front as well, there's really nothing to complain about: great venue, great shows, great evening!

    The Theatre Royal is one of Brighton's most venerable institutions. Set in the centre of the city,…read morejust a stone's throw from the Royal Pavilion, it has been at the heart of its artistic life for two hundred years. Opened in July 1807, the theatre has had a colourful history, to say the least. It suffered various financial problems in its early years, an actor by the name of Henry John Nye Chart took over the management and developed a flourishing programme over the ensuing twelve years. He then bought the theatre himself, and embarked on an expansion and refurbishment programme, giving us the theatre we see to-day - now a grade II listed historic building. Nye Chart died in 1876, but his wife Ellen Elizabeth Nye Chart kept the theatre going, introducing both matinees and the traditional Christmas pantomime. When she died in 1892, she was treated as a local celebrity, although her ghost is still said to haunt the building, as the mysterious Grey Lady. The interior is very traditional, with seating in stalls, two circles and an upper gallery, with boxes either side. The decoration is suitably high Victorian and plush, although the seats can be a little restricted for some modern audiences. The stalls have level access and there is a disabled toilet, and the theatre welcomes guide dogs. Captioning is available for those with hearing disabilities. (Those with special needs are advised to book in advance and inform the booking office of their requirements). The theatre bar is located separately, in the Colonnade Bar, immediately next to the main entrance. The repertoire is extraordinarily varied, with traditional classic theatre such as Shakespeare and West End transfers; musicals; comedies; dance and special events and, of course, a Christmas Pantomime season. The list of actors and actresses who have played here is an exhaustive list of the best of British theatre over the last 50 years. It is truly one of the foremost provincial theatres in the country.
