The Britannia Panopticon Company Presents: Music Hall Memories

Описание: Founded in 1857 on the Trongate in Glasgow, Scotland, the Britannia quickly became famed as being the most popular place of amusement in the city and 1500 people would cram themselves onto wooden benches for every show. The audience gained itself a reputation for "leaving no turn unstoned" and over the years the stage saw performances by such greats as Dan Leno, Harry Lauder, Marie Loftus, Charles Coburn, Harry Champion, W. F. Frame and of course, the debut of a sixteen year old Stan Laurel in 1906.

"Glasgow's Lost Theatre The Story of the Britannia Music Hall"
By Judith Bowers will be on sale 7th October 2014

In 1997 Judith Bowers managed to get access to the music hall which modern Glasgow had forgotten and now, with a team of dedicated volunteers, work continues to rescue this unique and valuable little auditorium. We have regular viewings, exhibitions, bazaars and traditional music halls shows all as part of our fundraising activities. The hall itself makes for a fantastic venue for photo shoots, lectures, comedy, filming and photography.
