Festive Theatre Edinburgh

Watched the best theatre performance in Edinburgh so far, The Secret Garden, at the Festive Theatre. 
Intrigued by the glass facade which seems to suggest that the Festive Theatre is a pretty new theatre, I did a mini research on it and discovered that it is in fact the oldest continuous theatrical site in Edinburgh. All old things come with aplenty of stories, so you can read its history in the link. I just thought that the glass facade, though really grand looking, was really unbefitting for the history carried by the theatrical site, so I tried searching for an image of the old Empire Theatre.

Here's the results -

1. Empire Theatre - probably in the late 80s or latest 1991
2. Empire Theatre - probably in the late 80s or latest 1991- showing Pound Savers in its current look!
3. Festive Theatre 1-   image 2
4. Conversion stage in 1993

I guess, the glass facade was a good job done after all :)
