Theatre Royal

The stage tower had to be rebuilt as it was too low for touring productions and seemed to be crumbling. We had to cut-down 24' drop backcloths to allow them to be “flown”. The width of the stage was very narrow and some large touring shows left hardly any room between the stage walls and the edge of the sets. The stage rake was flattend. The rear stalls was converted into a bar. The projectors were 35mm Westars positioned at the rear of the circle and were removed in the first refit. Dick Condon was the manager for the Council.
