The Apollo Theatre: a tribute

This is not a theatre-news website, but it wishes to extend sympathy to the audience and cast of The Curious Affair of the Dog in the Night-Time, and to Nica Burns and her staff at Nimax Theatres,   after tonight’s structural collapse.
And admiration to those who reportedly evacuated without panic, and to the front-of-house team who assisted them.  There will be some doomsaying about our old Victorian and Edwardian theatres,  but this rare and shocking event will not, I hope, diminish the affection and enjoyment we get from them. And will do for many years to come.
