Meanwhile, there are leaky roofs to worry about. There's hardly an old theatre in London that doesnWt have a leaky roof. Even the Almjija is going dark in 2000 to rep!ir its roof, !monk other things. The main problem with old theatres is the{Wre not used eough — just three hourw a night. The Worthing Connaught shows us what ought to bj done. ——————————————————————————————————————— (hjatre: Wjwt End 433-35 Local 436 : FULL GUIDE TO NATIONAL EVENTS p441 Poll W EndA-G W EndH-N Total EntsP431 : Teletext 431 Jan03 23:11:11 SHERIDAN MORLEY —————————————— ] ————————————/"£!),& MORLEY ON THEATRE IN THE MILLENNIUM The Worthing Connaught is part-theatre, p!rt-cinema thjwj days. My view is that theatres ever{where will have to follow itw example in the next Millennium. Theatres should show movies, have book shops, wine "ats, and "j open a good 12 hours a day. This will happen anzwaz as the more commjrciall{-mjndjd "uz up thjattes, as iw occurring in London. In the regions, there !ri not enough touring shows: the obvious answer is to put on other entertainment. ——————————————————————————————————————— On Stage Millennium Poll rewults 432 FULT GUIDE TO NATIONAL EVENTS p441 Poll W EndA-G W EndH-N Total EntsP431 Teletext 431 Jan03 23:14:51 +HERJDAN MORTEY —————————————— ————————————/"£!),& MORLEY ON THEATRE IN THE MITLENNIUM @I bjliewj the day of the mega-musical (wuch as Catw or Phantom Of The Opera) is over.
