Description
Selected pages from Nottinghamshire Life magazine profiling the newly refurbished Theatre Royal Nottingham.
What's the story?
Nottinghamshire Life is a life-style magazine promoting the cultural and business life of the city and county.
In this spring fashion special (Vol. 1, No. 4), there are two special features about the Theatre Royal Nottingham.
One relates to the history of the building and its 1865 origins. The other is an article by architect Nick Thompson about the refurbishment of the Theatre Royal.
In the article, Thompson talks about the need to demolish the County Hotel, the re-design of the foyers as new public spaces and the general poor condition of the Theatre Royal when they started work on this ambitious and groundbreaking re-design.
The Theatre Diary page at the back reveals the spring programming for the venue, but also shows noted actor John Hurt appearing at Nottingham Playhouse in Sean O’Casey’s Shadow of a Gunman.
The time period covered by this magazine is also neatly encapsulated with film reviews for Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
