Synopsis In 180 cameos, "London's Theatres" captures over 50 of the best-known theatres in Central London as they are at the beginning of the 21st century. From the Savoy Theatre's spectacularly restored Art Deco auditorium to the Donmar Warehouse's whimsical conversion of a beer and bananas warehouse, London's rich cultural heritage is revealed. The specially commissioned photographs are accompanied by a history of each theatre's evolving architectural style and changing role through the centuries. The book combines little-known facts and anecdotes with a sumptuous photographic record of the theatre in London. |
