Liverpool Repertory Theatre opened in 1866 as the Star Music Hall, later operating as the Star Theatre of Varieties, before becoming the home of the Liverpool Repertory Company in 1911. In 1917 it was renamed yet again, this time becoming The Playhouse Theatre. This photograph, commissioned by John Tanner & Son (ornamental plasterers), shows some of the internal alterations carried out by Professor Stanley Adshead, one of the pioneers of the Liverpool School of Architecture. The print associated with this photograph is stamped T R Rudd, John Tanner & Son (London) Ltd.
