The reopening of the Hall for Cornwall, Paul McCartney on Eleanor Rigby, Booker Prize-nominated author Nadifa Mohamed and the ongoing impact of Covid on theatre sales.
Front Row visits Truro to report on the re-opening of the Hall for Cornwall after a 3 year, 拢26million refurbishment. The new 1300 auditorium complements the granite of the old building, and the Cornish landscape. And the opening show 鈥� the world premiere of the Fisherman鈥檚 Friends musical, of course.
