Now called The Old Vic, the Royal Coburg Theatre was established in 1818, renamed in 1833 as the Royal Victoria Theatre, and then rebuilt and reopened in 1871 as the Royal Victoria Palace.
But in the Regency, it was opened by James King and Daniel Dunn, former managers of the Surrey Theatre, and had the patronage of Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg. It was a minor theatre and therefore prohibited from playing serious dramas, but nonetheless managed to bring Kean in for a Shakespeare series during the management of George Bolwell Davidge c. 1824.
Daniel Egerton and William Abbot purchased the theatre in 1833.
