THE HISTORY OF THE COLISEUM THEATRE OLDHAM- David Rustidge is the House Manager of the Coliseum Theatre.The talk is not designed to be a heavy blow by blow account of the Coliseum`s history,but surveys its initial origins, personalities and changes over the 125 years. From its circus origins as the Colosseum, its life as a Repertory Theatre Club and survival through the war years at the Coliseum performing weekly rep to thousands of loyal audiences. And of course its need to adapt to changing tastes of its audience and of the influences of the entertainment scene.
