There’s a wide range of performing arts on the go

a great night out. In impressive surroundings and directly opposite the City Art Gallery, York Theatre Royal [map] at St Leonard’s Place has an extensive programme of new and familiar plays. See new interpretations of classics and internationally famous pieces in the elaborate main theatre. Alternatively, check out The Studio [map] for dynamic new productions from such exciting groups as Pilot Theatre Company and Full Body And The Voice. York Theatre Royal [map] is host to Berwick Kayler’s pantomime and if you’re visiting in December, January or February this is definitely the show to catch. If you think pantomime is about washed up Australian soap stars singing out of tune to audiences of uninterested children, think again.
