The building was designed as a "super-cinema" by E. Warmsley Lewis in 1930 in striking art deco style. The cinema closed in 1975, reopening six years later as a theatre, with a concert by Shirley Bassey providing the opening night.

This Victorian theatre was built in just six months! Originally called the Royal Comedy Theatre when it opened, the Royal was dropped by 1884. Major reconstruction took place in the mid-1950's and the theatre re-opened on 14 December 1955. The disadvantage that this old theatre has though is the use of columns to support the circles - leading to many of the seats being restricted view.
