The world’s oldest theatre site in continuous use, the Theatre
Royal Drury Lane has been at the heart of Covent Garden for more
than 350 years. Audiences have flocked to the Lane to see the
greatest stars of the day in spectacular productions ranging from
Shakespeare to pantomime, from thrilling dramas to ground-breaking
musicals. The present theatre was built in 1811, after a
devastating fire destroyed the previous incarnation, and the Lane
has now been restored to its original Georgian glory by Andrew and
Madeleine Lloyd Webber. The world-class theatrical and performance
space is today an entertainment and cultural destination alive
throughout the day. This souvenir guide tells the story of the Lane
from its bawdy beginnings in Restoration London to its newly
restored elegance, unearthing the secrets of a theatre that has
survived tragedy and fire, royal scandals, ghosts and even murder,
while keeping audiences enthralled for centuries.
