The Royal Exchange

 

A high-profile part of the UK’s theatre scene for over thirty years, the Royal Exchange attracts high calibre actors to perform in its varied, classy productions. The theatre is housed within a seven-sided, glass-walled capsule, suspended from marble pillars situated in the Great Hall of the Exchange. This unique design means all seats are less than nine metres from the circular stage giving views from all angles.
