'Frank Matcham' Grand Guided Tour

See the renovated, ornate auditorium and savour the wonders of the hidden, functional world behind the curtain. Stand on the raked stage and observe the cantilevered tiers of circles, boxes and pit - and the complete visibility of every seat in this atmospheric house, from the other side of the gilt 'picture frame'. Test the acoustic perfections and learn about the sound positions. See the stage from the wings, the machinery for changing scenes and the latest lighting equipment in one of Britain's first all-electric theatres. Inspect the under-stage and the 'trap' where actors could be raised or shot up through the stage.
