Description
Lutyens worked on this preliminary scheme for a National Theatre with Cecil Masey in 1937. The building was to hold an audience of 1040 and was to go on a vacant island site opposite the Victoria and Albert Museum on Cromwell Road. It was, however, abandoned, as was his following scheme in 1942 for a National Theatre on the South Bank. (Amery et al, 1981, Cat no.479)Bibliography
