You simply have to go to The Mayflower Theatre website and go to the two sections:
1: History of The Mayflower
2: Memories of The Mayflower
They have to be the most interesting and well set up sites of the history of a theatre available. Its covered in photos, stories and all in great detail. Great stories of its life as a theatre then a cinema and now back to theatre again -one of the best in the United Kingdom! Well worth a visit for a good hour or so’s reading- enjoy!
