Thank you Sue, very interesting. I was Stage Director of the Loft before and after the big fire. A committee was formed, chaired by Bob Collingridge with four or five others, me included, to create a shopping list of "things" the new theatre should have. We met at Bob's cottage several times, the famous fly tower was on the list and a requirement for a large bar! At that time most of the apres theatre drinking was done at the Angel Hotel and despite their very helpful approach to licensing hours we thought the Loft should be having the benefit. I would be interested to contribute or proof read the forthcoming book if it is not too late.
