A very quick posting, I'm just wondering as it has been kind of bugging me for a while now, which theatre in Western Australia is the oldest? Or even what was the first built? The oldest record I can find is His Majesty's Theatre - 1904. Anything earlier?

If they're going to be moved, yes.

Mind you, this in a venue with a full height tower and a couple of dozen flylines.

About the only thing flown in and out in most productions is a few LX bars for rigging purposes.

I have it from one recent arrival that hammer and four inch nails are the most common set construction tool.

Go figure!
