THE curtains are going up on the inner workings of a theatre.

Play enthusiasts can tour the Churchill Theatre, High Street, Bromley, and see areas usually hidden from the public including the dressing rooms and the wardrobe department.

The tours are part of the Open House London weekend being held on September 16 and September 17.

Theatre manager John Short said: "We are pleased to be part of the event.

"It allows members of the public to venture backstage and see things which are normally exclusive to staff members and the stars, all for free.

"We hope everyone in Bromley will join us for what promises to be a fun-filled day out."

Open House London is an organisation which aims to promote the public's appreciation of architecture.
