The Rex Cinema The Rex has one huge screen set in a glorious 1938 artdeco proscenium with the sharpest film projection and clearest non-booming sound anywhere in the world. Throughout, its seating is big and soft. It has been called luxurious. It is better. It is civilized. It reminds us of what we have long stopped expecting from public buildings. There is a good wine list with snacks on clean plates. We are open 362 days a year with a new (ie different) title most days and nights. Only the blockb’s run longer, by demand. More often the small, littleknown films from across the world, return by demand to full houses over a sustained period. High St, Berkhamsted HP4 2FG. 01442 877759 www.therexberkhamsted.com/

Palace Theatre The theatre opened as the Royal English Opera House in January 1891 but within a year it was converted into a grand music hall and renamed the Palace Theatre of Varieties. In 1925, the musical comedy No, No, Nanette opened and this was followed by many other musicals. In time the theatre became known as a musical house. Notable productions include, Jesus Christ Superstar, Les Miserables, The Woman in White, Spamalot and Priscilla Queen of the Desert. The Palace Theatre is currently home to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The Palace Theatre was purchased in 2012 by Nica Burns and Max Weitzenhoffer forming part of the Nimax Theatres group. 113 Shaftesbury Ave, London W1D 5AY. 0330 333 4813 www.palacetheatre.co.uk/
