Theatre Royal, term applied to the two London theatres,
Covent Garden and
Drury Lane, which operate under Letters Patent granted by Charles II in 1662. These
Patent Theatres originally had a monopoly of ‘legitimate’ drama which lasted until 1843. The
Haymarket Theatre was given the courtesy title of Theatre Royal by virtue of a patent for the summer months only obtained in 1766 by Samuel
Foote from George III. During the 19th century a proliferation of Theatres Royal all over the country—none of them having any right to the title, since these theatres were licensed by the local magistrates and not directly by the Crown—caused the term to become nothing more than a generic title for a playhouse.
