About the Venue
The main auditorium of the Orpheum dates back to 1935, when it was the dress circle of the original theatre. Now restored to its former glory, it is protected by the National Trust.
The unique art deco designs feature statues of the mythical princess Atalanta of Arcadia. They hold glowing suns in their hands, sun rays run along the side walls through plaster clouds from a sun in each corner.
Starbursts radiate from above the proscenium and the coloured lighting washed the theatre with sunset colours.
This theatre features a giant screen behind a velvet contour stage curtain which rises in formation at the beginning of each performance.
