The Theatre Royal was completed in 1865, after six months of work and costing the clients the Nottingham Theatre Company, owned by lace manufacturers John and William Lambert £15,000.[3] The Classic façade and Corinthian columns designed by Charles J. Phipps are still a major Nottingham landmark.
The Theatre Royal opened on Monday, 25 September 1865 with Sheridan’s The School for Scandal. Its managers staged the full range of productions. For some six years to early 1897 the manager was H Cecil Beryl before he went off on his own account to operate and then buy theatres in Glasgow including its Royal Princess`s Theatre.
