Held dear to the heart of every Glaswegian... this grand dame pretty much wins hands down with the best laugh-out-loud panto in the city (even if you don’t understand a word of the Glasgow patter). A year-round programme of quality drama, comedy, dance and musicals in its sumptuous Edwardian interior adds to the venue's enduring appeal. Designed by renowned theatre architect Frank Matchem, its corner site double-facade in red sandstone is a fusion of Art Nouveau and Baroque influences. And a planned renovation project should see the interior restored to reflect its original glory.
