From our archives: King's Theatre, Dundee
Plans to buy and renovate the former King's Theatre in Dundee were reported in The Courier this week.
Peter Murray Spencer, convener of the King's Theatre Company, said the group is seeking help from Creative Scotland and the Heritage Lottery Fund through Historic Scotland to cover the possible £20 million refurbishment cost.
Support are claiming the backing of high-profile figures including actor Brian Cox, TV personality Lorraine Kelly, writer and broadcaster Billy Kay and Dundee Lord Provost John Letford.
Prints of how the theatre looked around 100 years ago are being sold at the Eduardo Alessandro Studios in Broughty Ferry and the West End Gallery in Perth Roadto help raise funds.
The story inspired us to see what we could find in the DC Thomson photo archives.
