Here's a link to a news piece about our grand old theatre, much damaged in the quakes. (Sorry about the adverts) The object I photographed several months ago, thinking it was the Mayor's spaceship, is the dome, all shrink-wrapped. It's painted with scenes from A Midsummer Night's Dream. The theatre is right next door to New Regent Street, our Thirties/Spanish/Hollywood street that I've taken pictures of in an older post.

I do hope they are successful and able to restore her to her former glory. And I love the shrink-wrapped dome.
