Embassy Theatre Peterborough

1960 , Peterborough (Cambridgeshire)

Cat no. 116300

The activities of Peterborough's cinema and theatre venue.

Excerpt from an Anglia Television production entitled 'Final Curtain: An Inquiry into the State of East Anglian Theatre', this item features the work of Peterborough's Embassy Theatre, which mixes cinema with live theatre. Manager Jack Bancroft sits at his desk, writing a letter and checking through the current Embassy programme. Outside the theatre, the crowds begin to arrive for the evening performance, collecting their tickets at the booth and heading for their seats. Inside the projection booth, the projectionists are hard at work changing reels and threading film on the huge carbon-arc projectors. The item concludes with a brief snippet showing the stage in use for one of the Embassy's variety performances.
