In September 2009 the Comedy Theatre is still a Hemp House and the original wooden grid, still in place, is also remarkable in that it still retains much of its early flying equipment which was constructed by stage carpenters probably about 50 years after the Theatre was built. These wooden windlasses are a rare survivor in British Theatres today and a fascinating insight into how scenery was flown in the past.
