Edinburgh's festival and King's Theatres through time

Gillon, Jack2016
Books, Manuscripts
The King's Theatre, the 'Old Lady of Leven Street', is one of Britain's most opulent touring venues, from the the Art Nouveau splendour of the original foyer to the auditorium, an Aladdin's cave of Viennese Baroque, with plush gilt fittings and a glorious chandelier above. The King's was built in 1905 with the millionaire philanthropist Andrew Carnegie laying the foundation stone. The doors opened the following year with a performance of Cinderella and the theatre soon became of national importance to the whole of the UK.
