Futurist Theatre, Theatre on Foreshore Road in Scarborough, England
The Futurist Theatre featured a grand auditorium supported by twelve slender columns, with boxes and a circle overlooking the main performance space.
The theatre opened its doors in June 1921 as a cine-variety venue, designed by architect Frank A. Tugwell with a white glazed Carraraware tile facade.
The venue attracted major performers throughout its lifetime, including The Beatles who performed there in December 1963 and August 1964.
With 2,155 seats spread across multiple levels, the theatre maintained its position as one of the largest entertainment venues outside London.
The original Abbott and Smith organ contained 45 stops, while the 1954 installation of a 38-foot CinemaScope screen enhanced film presentations.
