Audio Guide It's the oldest working theatre in the country (it opened in 1766) and remains the home of some of the best theatre you're likely to see, ranging from contemporary shows, comedy, dance, experimental and good old classical productions. There are three areas - The Theatre Royal (for big shows and pantomime), The New Vic Studio (contemporary shows, dance routines etc.), and The Basement (small-scale theatre). Whatever you're into, your taste is bound to be catered for in one of the three. There is a cafe for pre-theatre meals, lunches and coffee and backstage tours can also be arranged - they start in the foyer every Friday and Saturday from noon (except Saturdays in July and August) and cost approximately £4. Watch out for the legendary ghost!disabled access.
