  • Description
    Colour photograph showing the stage, proscenium and boxes at the New Theatre in Cardiff. Taken from the dress circle looking directly at the stage, it shows a deep stage within a rectangular proscenium. The proscenium has no frame as such, being contained by the two bays of side boxes in two tiers set between fluted giant Ionic columns rising from tall pedestals, with a straight entablature over. The box fronts themselves (the upper ones iron-balustraded) have an interesting undulating, rather than simply bowed form. A flat ceiling is partly in shot above. The auditorium is decorated with restrained ornamental plasterwork throughout.
