Overview
The College's stunning landmark building is located in the heart of Cardiff, overlooking beautiful urban parkland and just a 5-minute stroll from the city centre and mere 15 minutes from student halls.
The Richard Burton Theatre seats 180 people and boasts state-of-the-art facilities. Its contemporary design ensures the closest possible relationship between audience and performers.
The Richard Burton Theatre is named after one of Wales’ greatest actors. Its contemporary horse-shoe design with its deep violet interior melts away to leave the audience focused fully on the performance.
The theatre is home to the Richard Burton Company our in-house theatre company comprised of final year student actors and stage managers working alongside students from the College’s production and design courses. Every year, they will stage around fifteen productions from classic plays to contemporary drama to new writing, directed by industry professionals.
