The New Theatre Royal is an iconic Victorian building in the heart of Portsmouth and one of the remaining few Phipps / Matcham theatres in the world.

Working with and for Portsmouth, the theatre seeks to create a programme which engages with and reflects the vitality of the city. Throughout the year, the New Theatre Royal presents and produces a diverse range of performances and is constantly seeking out new partnerships to increase the offering and create a strong ‘Made in Portsmouth’ brand.

The theatre has undergone extensive expansion and renovation works in recent years, to update the theatre and improve its offering. Along with closer ties to the University of Portsmouth – including physical doorways between the theatre and university buildings.

RARE Productions are looking forward to producing shows on the New Theatre Royal stage from 2019!
