The
Edinburgh Playhouse
The Edinburgh Playhouse has had a colourful history. Designed by Glasgow architect,
John Fairweather as a variety theatre, it was largely modelled on the Roxy Theatre
in New York, but caught up in the new craze sweeping the country, it opened as a
cinema on August 12th 1929 with the 'talkie' The Doctor's secret. Owned by
the MacGuire family, it remained a cinema for 40 years until it fell victim to the
cinema slump in 1973. |

The Swan
Theatre - Stratford
Built in the surviving shell of the 1879 Memorial Theatre (destroyed by fire in
1926) with funds donated by benefactor Frederick Koch, the Swan Theatre opened in
Stratford-upon-Avon in 1986.
The Swan is a unique, modern theatre space based on the design of plahouses in Elizabethan
England; with a three-tier wooden structure, a thrust stage and the audience surrounding
the performers. |

Minack Open Air Theatre - Penzance
Since 1998 our sub-tropical rockeries have become a must for gardeners with a taste
for the exotic. The ideas and plant selection are based on the cliff garden
developed here by Rowena Cade in the 1930s. |
