Valerie Solti recalls how, as a stage-struck child living in the provinces, the London theatre had a magic mystery about it. The first theatre she visited was
Wyndham's where she saw The Boy Friend, and later she was to work at St
Martin's and the Globe.
In tonight's programme she visits seven theatres, meeting Edward Fox at the Haymarket Theatre, looking round regal Drury Lane and talking to Ian Albery about the Wyndham's Theatre, founded by his grandparents, and his new venture, the rebuilding of Sadler's Wells.
