Indeed... be interesting to see what caused it as those theatres are all of similar vintage :-\

There will now be a surge of compensation claims and a health and safety/risk assessment bonanza. Old theatres all over the country will be crapping themselves at the idea of major structural works or not having upstairs audiences with the resulting loss of ticket sales.

I recently went to an old theatre in Manchester and was seated upstairs, the floor very noticably moved and swayed when the audience danced along with the music, I was not happy.

So surprised to see no-one has mentioned anything about the performance 'bringing the house down'?  :-X
