THE MAGIC LANTERN BACKSTAGE TOURS

“Friends, Romans, countrymen … lend me your ears I’ll tell you the story of this theatre here”

Established in 2004, the Magic Lantern Tours are the Theatre Royal and Royal Concert Hall’s unique character led backstage tours that give you the opportunity to discover what it’s really like behind the scenes at this prestigious venue.

Your host and guide is Ezekial Bone – actor, scholar, storyteller, poet, historian or perhaps one of the many Theatre Royal ghosts!

“From the portico to the paint frame, I have always been here I’ve seen it all because I am it all, in this temple of a thousand dreams”

Ezekial Bone will take you from the opening night of the Theatre Royal in 1865, to the contemporary world of entertainment today. You will have the chance to tread the boards, go backstage and discover some of the magic that makes the Theatre Royal and Royal Concert Hall two of Nottingham’s top attractions.

Magic Lantern Tours are held on various Saturdays throughout the year. Details about these can be found by contacting our Box Office on 0115 9895555 or by visiting www.trch.co.uk/backstage-tours
