Famous Futurist...The Final Curtain

So Scarborough Borough Council have got there grubby little fingers in the 'Regeneration' pie again.

The FAMOUS Futurist Theatre on Scarboroughs historic Sea Front is to be demolished and replaced with a block of flats. Now, the theatre doesn't look great at the moment but that's because it had a 1970's facade (front) added to protect the delicated architecture from the brutal North Sea weather conditions. With that in mind..i declare we all get behind a project to keep the theatre open.

Comedian Rob Brydon has already publicly declared his support for the theatre as have other famous faces, even including Jo Brand. They want it saved..lets save it!

The alternative? We lose a theatre and gain a block of brand new apartments which have no architectural future or indeed history. Shocking.
