Destruction of the Olympic Theatre in Wych Street
The Olympic Theatre in Wych Street burned rapidly after a curtain caught fire on stage while preparations were underway for benefit pieces. Despite twelve engines and heavy water application, the structure collapsed by nightfall, with twelve Craven buildings and others damaged. The theatre, timber-built and uninsured, belonged to Cavell and had recent sublease talks with Farren and Mrs Nesbitt.
