London Rocket Theatre

Originally built in 1896 the Great Hall was part of the Northern University and a famous landmark on Holloway Road. It fell into disrepair back in the 1960's and required a major program of refurbishment . The delicately formed plaster ceiling panels were carefully removed where it was deemed necessary and recreated to match the Victorian handwork. The whole Hall was then redecorated in a more contemporary style which meant removing original but faded and crumbling gold leaf detailing. New Stage Curtains and Mid and Rear Curtains were installed. The huge one piece stage pelmet formed to follow the contours of the plaster proscenium proved quite challenging to install but nevertheless looks stunning in the grey colouring chosen.
