The Richmond Theatre was a theatre located in Richmond, Surrey, England. It was built in 1765 under the supervision of David Garrick. It was one of Surrey's major theatres for nearly 120 years.[1] The theatre was originally named The New Theatre on Richmond Greene and opened on 15 June 1765.[2] The actor Edmund Kean was manager of the theatre from 1831 until his death in 1833. Its management changed hands several times before the theatre was finally demolished in 1884.[3]
