The Royal Shakespeare Company has held an annual Newcastle Season at the Theatre Royal for over 30 years ; the Theatre on Grey Street is aptly is bounded on one side by Shakespeare Street.

As for the vampire rabbit, (or is it a hare?), it can be seen above the back door of offices in Amen Corner, behind St Nicholas' Cathedral. Why is it there and w hat does it represent? No-one seems to know. The building was designed by Oliver, Leeson and Wood in 1901.
