Introduction

This play following the history of the Crystal Palace from its conception to it burning down on "the last day of November" 1936 was initially written by John Yorath to be performed by children...

In the SLTC version adults and children played the roles, each actor perfoming several characters.

Three projector screens were used for slides of the construction & events during the show and the centre screen showed a cine film of the fire that consumed the palace in 1936.
