Shaftesbury Theatre - Graced with one of London's most ornate and beautiful auditoriums designed by Bertie Crewe, the Shaftesbury has had an eventful life, and a number of names. Beginning in 1911 as the New Princes Theatre it became the Princes in 1914, and renamed the Shaftesbury in 1962 following redecoration. In 1978 the theatre was bought by the newly formed Theatre of Comedy company founded by Ray Cooney, and given its official name of the Shaftesbury Theatre of Comedy. The first of a number of mishaps occurred in 1928 when a gas-pipe explosion interrupted Funny Face starring Fred Astaire, and forced the closure of the theatre for a number of weeks. However despite bomb damage on two separate occasions during the Second World War, the Shaftesbury managed to remain open.
