  • Resumen

  • We are treading the boards this week as we investigate a series of theatre disasters that took place across Britain, but always in a building named the Theatre Royal.


    Starting with the most famous theatre fire in 1613 we discuss how, over the next 400 or so years, theatre owners never seemed to learn the lesson that basic safety precautions are never too expensive in the long run (also, buildings insurance seems to be a worthwhile investment).


    So join us as we discuss how hundreds of people who just wanted to be entertained for a few hours were burned, choked, crushed and even had their pants literally set on fire as a result of some dodgy decision making in pursuit of profits.
