Lyceum Theatrer
he most historic and oldest of all theatres in London, the Theatre Royal stands on the oldest site in the world to have been continually used as a playhouse. The present theatre is the fourth on the site.   The first theatre built in 1663 and burnt in 1672 was the venue for Nell Gwynn's stage debut. King Charles II took Nell as his mistress after falling in love with her at first sight during a performance in 1665. Designed by Christopher Wren, a new theatre holding 2000 patrons opened in 1674. However, mainly through a lack of finance this building quickly showed serious signs of neglect and in 1794 was replaced by a third theatre with a capacity of 3,611, but it too succumbed to fire in 1809. The theatre that stands on the site today was opened in 1812 with money raised in part by Lord Byron and Whitbread and since then has witnessed many notable performances and events. Not least being 'The Man in Grey', the theatre's ghost dressed in long riding cloak, boots and three-cornered hat, said to haunt the Upper Circle, particularly during matinees.
