Newcastle Theatre Royal is a stunning Grade 1 listed building constructed from stone in a classical style. The entrance is ornate and imposing. It sits amongst the almost entirely listed Grey Street, slightly down from Monument metro station, and is walkable from here, the main train station or the bus stops. There are many car parks in the area, and the theatre is entirely wheelchair accessable.
The theatre inside is a traditional proscenium arch, with stalls and 3 tiers of galleries (don't sit in The Gods if you're short sighted or afraid of heights!). The highlight of the theatre's annual schedule for me is the RSC season which runs from September to early November every year. This has a healthy budget and creates some truly stunning effects and stage decoration. Contemporary productions are shown in the spring.
There is a restaurant and half time bar, as well as a kiosk for sweets. The restaurant does a nice pre-show deal, however it remains pricey, and there are several better and more reasonable restaurants also doing theatre specials within a 100m radius.

Good review, as far as it goes, but it would be nice to see it go further - with more about the history, architecture, notable productions, etc. Let me know if you add more and I'll happily rerate.
