Marlowe Theatre
The Marlowe re-opened in October 2011 after an extensive rebuild and has since become one of this country’s leading regional theatres and an influential creative voice in our region.
It was on St Margaret’s Street from 1920 to 1981, named the Marlowe from 1949, demolished to make way for the Marlowe Arcade shopping centre.
