Great Alianor
London's leading theatre, a lofty house of stone and brick facing Alianor Square from the south, with a deep stage, four galleries open to the public, private boxes and heavy machinery. It stages grave plays, comedies and complete operas, licensed by the city and patented by the Crown. A role that triumphs here is played in the provinces within a year, so the house decides what becomes national culture.
