I have been to a few performances in the Royal Lyceum over the last year and enjoy my evenings in this lovely, if slightly cramped, theatre.\n\nThe Royal Lyceum is a 658 seat theatre, positioned nicely in the centre of town. It hosts mostly plays and is a principle venue in the International Festival. It's also a major venue for youth theatre. The performances shown are quite varied. They show a lot of classics as well as modern plays (although all tend to have quite modern interpretations). The only problem is that there does seem to often be a hiatus, with not a lot on at times. \n\nAs others have suggested there is a sort of decorative dichotomy. The building is late 19th century but has some modern renovations outside. The interior is more traditional. Inside there are three bars inside the theatre to choose from. Overall I find the building really appealing.
