About this audio guide
This guide to the Theatre Royal in Bath follows a superstition that has lived backstage since nineteen forty-eight, when a company preparing a children's pantomime found something small and still on the stage. It turns on Reg Maddox, the man running the theatre at the time, and on the habits actors keep there to this day. Along the way you'll meet the Grey Lady of the top box and the legend of the pub next door. Best heard on Sawclose, facing the entrance.
