Ceiling collapse at Apollo Theatre
in General Technical Chat
Posted
The other consideration which people should be aware of - both in this instance and in their own theatres - is the reasonably high instance of auditoria ceilings (plaster thereof) containing asbestos. I believe it's not necessarily a problem with the plasterwork in good order, but when it's not......
However, I am not an expert in this field and am only coincidentally aware of the issue. As always - there are specialist companies that deal with these things, and Asbestos Registers are required etc. etc.
Let us hope it is not the case with the Apollo, for obvious reasons.
