- Why music halls became so popular in Victorian England and what censorship has to do with them?
- Which theatre combined plays with lectures on the perils of alcohol?
- Which failed British novelist laid the foundation for contemporary theatre?
We would start at the “invisible” theatre, pay a visit to His Majesty, look at nine theatres on our way, marvel at the most gothic theatre, look for a secret tunnel for a monarch and finish the tour at the charming cafe “La Boheme”.
The price of this tour is £35.
