Cloth numbers confirm the backstage location, thuogh it is not usual for cloths, backcloths and flown scenery to be operated at stage level, usualy more often from a fly rail, or fly floor. The hemp ropes can be seen thuogh interesting that they appear to be held by brakes, rather than be wrapped around cleats. Also visiible to the right are the framing for a flat, and a wooden brace to keep it upright. An anorak would like to find out how and why the picture was posed with a certain amount of backstage visible, as opposed to being taken from the auditorium. The whole thing is posed behind scenery, door returns on the pair of double doors and a stencilled name. Which Gaiety Theatre? Probably the Gaiety Theatre in Aldwych, not the Gaiety Theatre in Ayr, so no need for our Scottish adventures to whizz up to investigate, thuogh a photo of Sevens parked outside the stage door would be good to see. Get out more? Oh yes, time to take dogs for a walk.
