Product Description
Product Description
This is a lavishly illustrated book covering more than 50 of Central London's most famous and historically significant theatres. The fascinating text, combined with stunning images of the theatres featured, helps to honour London's glorious heritage and also offers the reader a remarkable source of reference for years to come. A perfect souvenir for visitors, Londoners or anyone with an interest in British history and architecture, this visually stunning guide features specially commissioned photographs and a foreword by Zoe Wanamaker CBE. 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 from a new and dynamic perspective. London's Theatres' combination of comprehensive history, little-known facts, and anecdotes make it the ultimate reference book to a perennially interesting subject. This title is suitable for: residents of London keen to gain a deeper understanding of the capital's history and architecture; theatre goers and enthusiasts; and, visitors to London, many of whom will visit a West End show during their stay.

Format:Paperback
What a wonderful book this is. I can see theatre goers and historians alike loving this. The 200 photographs of the interiors and exteriors of the theatres are very good. The architectural and historical background makes this book a fascinating read. From the Opera House to the Apollo Theatre - it's all here. There are over 50 theatres included.This review first appeared on Karen Platt's book review website.

This book was well described and just as I searched for. It is very informative. Enjoyed Miss Wanamaker's CBE foreword, it added a perspective and credence.
Listmania!
