NOTES: The Sans Souci Theatre was opened in 1796 by Charles Dibdin. He transferred the interiors of his previous theatre of the same name from its location on the Strand to the new site. The building was demolished in 1898. This drawing is from an album of designs and sketches by Hunt, who appears to have been an amateur architect. None of these designs are known to have been executed. The drawings seem to date from the mid-1760s to the mid-1790s.
