The State Theatre

A monument to another age,with elements of Gothic, Italianate and Art Deco design, this theatre itself offers a spectacle to rival on-stage action. Hosting every kind of show from theatre to film and music, there's something to suit every taste. For glorious nostalgia, pick something along traditional lines, so the venue and performance work together.
