      state-subsidized school of acting in Bloomsbury, London. The oldest school of drama in England, it set the pattern for subsequent schools of acting.

      It was established in 1904 by actor-manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree (Tree, Sir Herbert Beerbohm), who soon moved it from Haymarket to its present location on Gower Street and set up a presiding council of other leading actors and producers. Principal of the academy from 1909 until 1955 was Sir Kenneth Barnes, who assured its success. A royal charter was granted in 1920, and from 1924 the Royal Academy received an annual government grant. The school's Vanbrugh Theatre (1954) replaced an earlier structure that was destroyed during World War II. In the late 1990s the theatre was razed, and a new, slightly larger building was erected in its place.
