Theatre, Comedy, Film and Dance

The Theatre Royal is a major touring venue which regularly features famous actors and actresses. For smaller productions you have the choice of three theatres, including the Rondo Theatre, and Ustinov Studio which is the base for the Theatre Royal's Youth Theatre. Should none of these appeal, many original and talented performers - from tightrope violinists to 'live' statues - provide street entertainment in the city centre.

Comedians and various comedy acts are regularly showcased in Bath and some go on to nationwide stardom.

For the film buff, Bath boasts a number of cinemas, including the Little Theatre which shows art-house and cult movies. You can catch a fine selection of premieres at the annual Bath Film Festival.
