    Hi Katrina

    Thanks for this information. We went here yesterday and had a pleasant hour wandering around. Unfortunately we couldn't see a performance as it was sold out, but the library and small museum areas were interesting.
    The best part for us was on the third floor (I think!) where the displays are about the technical side of theatre, mostly lighting and sound effects. We had a good ten minutes making a racket with the musical instruments.
