The Theatre Royal was open throughout the World War Two and one can see references to the conflict in the advertisement for T.C.P. … “How valuable T.C.P. has become, now that all of us doing war-time jobs of one kind or another” and the ‘Alert’ and ‘All Clear’ signals referred to at the side of the stage.
