The next production marked the company's only performance in Edinburgh's Theatre Royal. From 1902 to 1924 Southern Light performed in the Royal Lyceum Theatre. Since then all shows (apart from three) have been performed in the King's Theatre on Leven Street. The company returned to the Lyceum for one year for the 2012 production of Curtains.
