A very quick posting, I'm just wondering as it has been kind of bugging me for a while now, which theatre in Western Australia is the oldest? Or even what was the first built? The oldest record I can find is His Majesty's Theatre - 1904. Anything earlier?

Confused?

Thank you... so, to my knowledge so far: St Georges Hall - 1879 T. G. A. Molloy's Theatre Royal - 1900... But then, I haven't heard of Theatre Royal. The discription sounds somewhat like that of His Maj's which opened in 1904 (and the theatre and adjoining hotel took 2 years to complete), and was constructed by Perth businessman and one-time Lord Mayor of Perth, Thomas G Molloy. Thoughts?
