Image by ricardo266
The Library Theatre Manchester (UK) closed, after 58 years at Central Library, on 4 July 2010. These photos were taken in the final few days of performance at the Central Library Theatre. The final play was the same one which opened the theatre in 1952, "The Importance Of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde. Central Library will now be closed for 4 years of renovation and refurbishment, but the existing theatre space will be converted and rebuilt for book storage. However, the Library Theatre Company lives on, and will be presenting plays at the Lowry Theatre and other Manchester venues over the next 4 years, before moving to a new permanent home at the Theatre Royal.
An exhibition in the Spotlighters Bar of costumes and model set designs used at the theatre over the years.
