The interior of the Drury Lane Theatre, London collapses during a performance. The view is from the side of the pit with the stage and curtain at left. A gallery falls at right. A few months after this print was published the building designed by Robert Adam in 1776 was demolished and replaced by one designed by Henry Holland.
