Prince Regent Theatre

Prince Regent Theatre

Freddie Eldrett founded the Prince Regent Theatre in Farnborough, Hampshire with his long-term companion Philip Gilbert in the 1980s.

The small (70 seat) Prince Regent was designed as a children's theatre and focused on performances for and by young people, giving many young actors a break and an opportunity to work with professionals.

Musical productions included everything from pantomimes, Music Hall, Comedy Cabaret and Variety shows. The Boyfriend, Dames at Sea and Side by Side By Sondheim, plus plays such as Stepping Out, The Late Edwina Black and Weekend Breaks.

Actors who have appeared at the Prince Regent include Sophie Juge, Emma Pitkin, Jessica Grant, Chris Booth (who from 1995, also acted as Resident Musical Director), Andrea Poyser, Wendy Denham, Mark Hayden, Lucy Withers, Nadine Cox, Barbara Jaeson, Ulrike White, Lewis Butler, Ian Cullen, Marcia Mantack, Christopher Ernest, Victoria Diez, Rikki Presley, Anna Brecon and Michael Pope.

The Prince Regent could be found at 75 Guildford Road East, Farnborough, Hampshire. Sadly, the theatre enjoyed little success, being too small to be commercially viable. In 2000 a survey of local residents showed that 53% were unaware of the theatre's existence and the Prince Regent closed shortly afterwards.
