A more detailed description of the complete history of the Regent theatre until 1996. This book by Frank Van Straten as noted on the back cover, was 'published to celebrate the re-opening of Melbourne's Regent Theatre on 17 August 1996.' The book stands by this, as not only a history of the theatre but a celebration of the history and tradition that it holds in Melbourne and Australia. The book contains much information on the direction of original architect Cedric Ballantyne as well as the process in keeping the traditional look of the theatre upon redesign. A valuable resource in the history of the Regent. |
