Phil Williams

Available for over a year

The major theatre owners in London have confirmed their safety inspections and certificates are up to date after part of the ceiling at the Apollo Theatre collapsed during a performance of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time. More than seventy people were injured. The theatre's owners, Nimax, say they are working closely with the relevant authorities to establish exactly what happened. In this two minute summary of the story, Phil Williams hears from eye witnesses who were in the theatre at the time, plus the response from the ambulance and fire crews and The Sunday Telegraph's theatre critic Tim Walker.
