The Theatre, Leeds
The Theatre in Hunslet, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, was a theatre for summer shows, built in 1771 by Tate Wilkinson and redeveloped in 1867. Mrs Siddons〔 and Ching Lau Lauro appeared here in 1786 and 1834 respectively.〔 It was the only drama theatre in Leeds until 1864, after which business was challenged by competition. It became shabby and was partially rebuilt in 1867 to create the smarter Royal Theatre, which was to burn down in 1875. No theatre was built again on this site, and its surviving Victorian successors are the Leeds City Varieties of 1865 and the Grand Theatre of 1878.
==Building and Location==
The Theatre of 1771 was a fairly basic brick building of . It was on the east side of Meadow Lane, Hunslet, Leeds, near Leeds Bridge. In his ''Memoirs'' of 1790, Tate Wilkinson described it as "quite a palace."〔''Leeds Times'' 28 September 1867: "Local news"〕 However ''The Leeds Guide'' of 1806 despaired of it: "Its form inconvenient, and utterly unworthy of the populous and flourishing town to which it belongs." By 1867 it was remembered as a "dingy little theatre" and a "barn out of repair," although it hosted fine plays.〔 It had a vestibule, gallery, boxes and pit, and an audience of 600 could be crammed in, but the stage and auditorium were the same size. It was said by the actress Dorothea Jordan that the green room "was miserable and cold, half the upper part of it admitting the wind and the rain," although advertisements in the ''Leeds Intelligencer'' said the stage was "elegantly illuminated by wax candles." The New Theatre Royal and Opera House of 1867 had grander pretensions, having all facilities.〔(Leodis, Discovering Leeds: The Theatre ) Retrieved 17 December 2013〕
