Product Description

Product Description
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.

About the Author
Mike Kilburn was formerly English Heritage's Inspector of Historic Buildings for the London region, during which time he gained intimate knowledge of numerous London Theatres. Now a full-time writer, he is author of many other titles on London. Alberto Arzoz specializes in architectural and cultural subjects from around the world, working with newspapers, magazines and publishers. His work has been exhibited in New York and London and regularly appears in publications such as World Architecture, Marie Claire, The Guardian and The Times.

5.0 out of 5 stars A theatre lovers dream, 24 Sep 2002
This book is a definate keep sake for all theatre lovers. It is a wonderful collection of photographs and provides a detailed background to all of the theatres in London.

Filled with facts such as the history of each theatre and of its development. The photographs are colourful and are printed of the most excellent quality. The majority of photographs concentrate on the beautiful architecture that can be found in the theatres and its decorative design.

A piece of theatrical memorabilia of your very own to look at over and over again to indulge yourself of Britain's west end culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep knowledge and fascinating cameos, 23 Jan 2003
By A Customer
Mike Kilburn's deep knowledge of the history and architecture of the London theatre is clearly reflected in his writing. The stunning photographs also doubtless owe much to his very skillful direction in making the best of the architectural features of each theatre, even down to fascinating cameos of design detailing and idiosyncracies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really great book., 1 Mar 2009
This review is from: London's Theatres (Paperback)
This is a really great book. It has all sorts of really interesting information and great pictures. Its has details from over 50 of Londons theatres and great pictures from all of them. The extensive information gives you key dates in the theatres history, cool facts and things of interest and a good history of each theatre. The foreword by Zoe wannamaker is also good. Please be aware that Zoe wannamaker didn't actually write the book although it comes up like that on the screen. Don't be put off though as this is a truely fantastic book.
