The Theatre in Hunslet Leeds West Yorkshire England was a theatre for summer shows built in 1771 by Tate Wilkinson and redeveloped in 1867. Mrs Siddons and Ching Lau Lauro appeared here in 1786 and 1834 respectively. It was the only drama theatre in Leeds until 1864 after which business was challenged by competition. It became shabby and was partially rebuilt in 1867 to create the smarter Royal Theatre which was to burn down in 1875.
