Britain’s oldest surviving theatre — the Theatre Royal at Richmond, Yorkshire — was built in 1788 and is still in use. The building measures 8.5 by 19.5 metres and nearly half is occupied by the sloping stage. Beneath this are dressing rooms once used by such famous English performers as Mrs Siddons and Edmund Kean.
