The new Royal Court Theatre was eventually built on the same site and opened in 1938 in the art Deco style with an auditorium built on three levels, Stalls, Grand Circle and Balcony. The Theatre was fitted with a basement lounge bar which was said to have been a replica of the main lounge of the Ocean Liner The Queen Mary. Right - Programme for 'The Way of the World' at the Royal Court, Liverpool in November 1956. Although the auditorium and stage, with its original revolve and fly tower, remain intact the Theatre was converted in 1980 into a concert venue and later a comedy club, now known as the Rawhide Comedy Club, with cabaret style seating and tables in the auditorium, and a capacity of 1,250. A bar has been fitted into the rear of the former stalls and the fly tower has been recently refurbished so that Theatrical performances can now take place again in the Theatre. In 2008 the Royal Court Theatre is now a full theatrical venue again staging it's own produced shows. You may like to visit the Royal Court's own website here...
