The most strangest thing about this story, is that when these productions go on. The owners are only worried about what money they have coming through the box office.

Stars are paid an enormous amounts of money to perform on the stage, but the theatre goes through terrible wear and tear.

I went to a London Theatre last year with my son to see a play and paid a lot of money, but the seating was much to be desired.

I watched a programme on Tv regarding the plastering of these theatres, and the Master plasterer said that they only repair the cracks. And dont go the full way to restoring because of cost.
