____________________________________________________________________________________________ Library Theatre, St Peter’s Square, Manchester

|
The Library Theatre in St. Peter's Square, Manchester was built in 1933 by E. Vincent Harris, who also built the Library itself in 1928. The Theatre was originally intended as a Lecture Theatre and is situated in the basement of the Lbrary building. The Theatre has a small fan shaped auditorium with an Apron stage and just three dressing rooms. The current capacity is 308. In October 2009 the Theatre
Royal was put forward as one of the proposed new homes for the Library
Theatre Company and if this had happened the Theatre Royal, which is
Manchester's oldest surviving
Theatre, would have been restored and put back into use as a live Theatre
again. Sadly it turned out to be too expensive a project and the scheme
was abandoned and the Library Theatre itself is now closed but it is
rumored to be looking at the Cornerhose Complex as a new home. If you know any more about this Theatre of have programmes or images you are willing to share please Contact Me... |
