- Summary:
- On 12 February 1990 the Savoy Theatre in London burned down and, as far as the auditorium was concerned, it was almost a total loss. The decision was taken to recreate this Art Deco theatre exactly as it had been before the fire, that is in the form it had taken in 1929. In the recording, the members of the design team with the contractor and other consultants discuss the enormous difficulties this involved, and the pros and cons of having chosen a management contract for such a job.
