Britannia Theatre
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Britannia_Theatre an entity of type: Thing
The Britannia Theatre (1841–1900) was located at 115/117 High Street, Hoxton, London. The theatre was badly damaged by a fire in 1900, forcing the sale of the lease. The site was reused as a Gaumont cinema from 1913 to 1940, before being demolished to make room for a more modern cinema which was never built. Housing has now been built on the site, which is marked by a London Borough of Hackney historic plaque. Unusually for a theatre, food and drink were served in the auditorium, in the style of contemporary music halls.

Housing has now been built on the site, which is marked by a London Borough of Hackney historic plaque. A typical night's entertainment at the Britannia Theatre would include 3–4 plays, with variety acts in the intervals between. Many music hall acts would appear during the interval, and sometimes their acts were woven into the performance. The plays varied, from Shakespeare, Victorian melodrama and comedy. During the winter season pantomime was performed. Unusually for a theatre, food and drink were served in the auditorium, in the style of contemporary music halls.
