Unfortunately, no doubt for reasons of space, diners here are too close to theatregoers who are coming and going, but not dining. More

The theatre provides an excellent venue for a variety of performances. There are 2 bars and there is food on site but is also close to the city centre. More

Plymouth's Theatre Royal is, quite simply, a superb venue. Situated at the lower end of town it is easy to reach via public transport. There is a welcoming bar, superb restaurant and plenty of comfy seating available while waiting for a show. The auditorium has great sight-lines from almost every seat, the staff are wonderful, and the range of shows... More

Excellent performance - full theatre most audience under 25 (we were the exceptions, all over 60) True audience participation - the retired primary school teacher beside me (French) was thrilled and the ending - we all stood and clapped and clapped. Just a lovely evening! More

Good view of the stage from almost all the seats. There isn't much leg room unfortunately. The theatre receives a good range of touring productions and has a good deep professional stage. More

I love this Theatre as it is a real Theatre and not a venue used for ther things. It has proper stalls, circle and upper circle. I saw Phatom of the Opera there .. Wow it was good. More

We went to see the Nutcracker - great show but the Theatre staff were very welcoming offering advice about what to do in Plymouth and where to eat. We had not booked the theatre restaurant but were told of a few good places to eat which was very helpful. More

Modern theatre that puts on VERY high quality productions if you are a keen theatre goer see what is on at The Drum, it is a small in the round stage and within the main theatre. Scenery and props are amongst the best you will see due to the purpose built workshops. Actors love Plymouth for it intimacy and acoustics.... More

Have been visiting the theatre coffee shop for a long time. I meet up with friends once a month and have had also had a few meals upstairs. The lady in the coffee shop is very nice and good service. Not a lot to choose from down stairs, but if you want a meal its upstairs to need to visit.... More
