Northcott Theatre, University of Exeter, Exeter, Devon
The Northcott Theatre on the Streatham campus of the University of Exeter is one of Devon’s best theatres.
The theatre has recently reopened after it was closed for redevelopment. It stages drama, opera, and ballet as well as music concerts. Highlights over the next two months include performances by Birmingham Royal Ballet, English Touring Opera, and the play “Spies.”

Amateur and university productions are also staged here.
The theatre employs about 60 staff and was opened in 1967. It is named after a local businessman, G V Northcott, who provided £100,000 to establish the trust that built the theatre.
There are fears, however, over the theatre’s future after the Arts Council announced that it would not fund the theatre from 2009, just after the theatre reopened post-refurbishment in December 2007.

Exeter University is a 20-minute walk from Exeter St David’s Station. Be warned the campus is quite hilly. It is slightly further from Exeter Central Station. A taxi from either station would not be that expensive. The Bill Douglas Cinema Museum is also on campus.
