hullo John, a.. REF: John JACKSON, born 1730, died 7/12/1806 Shakespeare Square, Edinburgh, owned Theatre Royal, Edinburgh. b.. 1768. Theatre Royal founded in Shakespeare Square. 1859. Theatre Royal demolished. I also would be pleased to have as much information as possible about the Theatre Royal in Shakespear Square - the period up until about 1810. It might be easier for you just to refer me to sources. You may already know that there is in Edinburgh Central Library (George IV Bridge) a listing of plays performed in the Edinburgh Theatres.
