The theatre sounds very maintained then and beautiful - how 'fun?' for the truck driver to climb out of the window - those were the days.<br /><br />Hastings sounded like a very good stop over for you .. We've a few theatres and a cinema that's 90 years old .. they do bring very good productions down .. <br /><br />Cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-48967114656828332892012-04-10T01:18:05.791-07:002012-04-10T01:18:05.791-07:00Lee - would have loved to have seen one of your sh...Lee - would have loved to have seen one of your shows! I am smitten by the theatre-bug - we get to London's West End whenever we can (and have been known to hit matinee AND evening performances at different theatres in the same day!)<br />Some beautiful old theatres there, many finely restored to their Victorian/Edwardian magnificence - although the Adelphi, in The Strand, is a wonderful example of Art Deco!<br /><br />Being in the exact centre of England, we have a wealth of local theatres virtually on our doorstep - and we love visiting new ones. <br /><br />You can't beat 'live' performance, whether it's music, magic, or plays! :-)SueHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394307650434614637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-17897340706639888002012-04-09T22:52:33.412-07:002012-04-09T22:52:33.412-07:00Our production company essentially presented stage...Our production company essentially presented stage magic musical productions with a traditional story as the framing device. We did stories such as Cinderella, Wizard of Oz, and Snow White.
