Prince Regent Theatre

|
The Prince Regent Theatre in Farnborough, Hampshire was founded in the 1980s by Freddie Eldrett with his long-term companion Philip Gilbert. It was claimed that the Prince Regent was the smallest theatre in Britain. The small (70 seat) Prince Regent was designed as a children's theatre and focused on performances for and by young people, giving many young actors a break and an opportunity to work with professionals. Musical productions included everything from pantomimes, Music Hall, Comedy Cabaret and Variety shows. The Boyfriend, Dames at Sea and Side By Side By Sondheim, plus plays such as Stepping Out, The Late Edwina Black and Weekend Breaks. The Prince Regent could be found at 75 Guildford Road East, Farnborough, Hampshire. Sadly, the theatre enjoyed little success, being too small to be commercially viable. In 2000 a survey of local residents showed that 53% were unaware of the theatre's existence and the Prince Regent closed shortly afterwards. Shows * Beside the Sea * Dames at Sea * Noel & Gertie * Stepping Out * The Late Edwina Black * The Boyfriend * Side By Side By Sondheim * Weekend Breaks * Baal * Sleeping Beauty * Much Ado About Nothing * ' * Habeas Corpus * Lord Arthur Savile's Crime
