Empire Theatre

1925
Grade II
The Empire Theatre by W. and T. R. Milburn was the last neo-classically styled façade added to the collection of buildings immediately around St George's Plateau. 

Though not publicly funded it does still have the public function for which it was created and behind the façade an audience of 2,450 can be seated in "Louis XVI" elegance. 

The long rows of seats sloping up at either end, which gave a heightened sense of audience participation, originally created an advanced example of theatre plan.
