The Theatre Royal also houses the Egg Theatre for children, young people and their families, and the Egg Café; the cutting-edge Ustinov Studio, which produces nationally acclaimed seasons of UK premieres, interspersed with contemporary drama, comedy and music from visiting companies; and the historic Garrick's Head Pub.
