Why should we have to travel so far afield?

WITH reference to the article in Sir David Danum's column commenting on the advert for Eurostar and the convenience of being able to visit the theatre in Paris for a relatively small amount of money.
I ask the question, why should we have to travel so far afield when we have perfectly good theatres in our region? If only the magnificent 'Grand Theatre' could be re-opened. It would be so convenient being so near to the interchange and the railway station.

Sadly it would seem the councillors of our town choose to ignore the need to preserve our culture so we have to travel to Sheffield, Leeds etc to enjoy live theatre. I agree the issue of the train times needs to be addressed to coincide with the performance times as this does create a problem when attending an evening performance.

We have a perfectly good theatre in Doncaster, it used to be called the Gaumont. I remember going there to see shows, plus in the 60's and 70's there was live concerts. This venue was a fine theatre in its day, holding many hundreds of people and perhaps with a little investment, it could be soon converted back to its original glory. It may save on the new cultural centre which is planned, as I dought if the Planners of todays age, would compete with that, if you look at some of the rubbish they design.
