Building a Theatre
The history of the building from 1865, and its relationship with the changing city of Nottingham.
The Theatre Royal in Wartime
1914 to 1918 and 1939 to 1945, including productions staged and the theatre's role in supporting the war effort.
Pantomime
A key fixture in the theatre’s calendar since The House that Jack Built in 1865: an annual celebration for Nottingham audiences.
Onstage and Backstage
The stories of performers, audiences, stage door keepers, technicians, front of house and more: exploring the venue through people's memories.
Our Theatre Royal Nottingham
As part of the Our Theatre Royal Nottingham project, we are holding a series of talks focused on each of the four project themes, as well as memory afternoons where members of the public can share stories and objects from the Theatre’s past.
