thanks, I sent an email to the theatre royal and they sent one back saying that it was shown when the house was opened. I must have missed it hoswever I was in 5 minutes after the house opened Rowan

Thank you for the suggestion but I actually did search and read the artical. I found it very informative however you have to remeber that the article is just written by people like you and me and isnt always read by a profesional or someone in the know. Also I was asking about a specific performance and was wondering if anyone knew why or if they had a special kind of license. Row

Hi, now I am only 16 and worked backstage on a couple of shows but I was under the impression that at some point during the show the Iron (safety curtain) had to be shown to the audience for a time of about 5 minutes. Now until last night this has happened at every show I have been to see however last night I was at the Theatre Royal in Newcastle to see Cats and they didnt show the Iron at all. I was just wondering if anyone knew why or if anyone knows if its the law to show it? thanks row
