Theatre+Royal

On Peter Street this 1845 building can be found. It is Manchester's oldest surviving theatre, though its current status is as a nightclub. Above the entrance sits enthroned a statue of Shakespeare himself. It is considered one of the finest surviving examples of British theatre architecture from first half of the 19th century. Partly for that reason, there are plans of turning it back into a theatre. This would be an obvious solution considering the major social life characterising Manchester today.
