Black-and-white photograph of the Regent Theatre (then known as the Royal Exchange Building) under construction. Photograph taken c1905.
The dome of the Isaac Theatre Royal covered in sheeting and suspended in the backstage area. In the foreground, a small digger sits on the bed of a truck, and a crane is visible to the left. The photographer comments, "This is the 'dome' of the Isaac Theatre Royal's heritage stage. The front section of the theatre has stayed and so has the back, but the middle has been completely demolished. The best way to hide a secret is in plain sight. Could this really be an ancient UFO stored secretly in the old theatre for decades and now exposed by the earthquake? Is the waiting crane and transporter ready to whip it away to another secret location in the dead of night?".
A crane is parked outside the former Theatre Royal building on Gloucester Street. Wooden bracing holds up the verandah.
The dome of the Isaac Theatre Royal, covered in plastic sheeting and suspended in its stage area, awaits restoration.
