The London spectator
Hazards
- Occasional
fires. Oil lamps and candles used as house lights occasionally set
fire to the draperies and wood walls of the theater houses. The explosion
of guns and other explosives on stage increases risk of fire. Caution
may be observed by taking a seat near the general exit.
- Epidemics.
Theaters should be avoided during times of plague. Theaters typically
close during serious outbreaks.
- Pickpockets
and cutpurses. Guard your pockets and purses. Pickpockets and cutpurses
often go unnoticed in theater crowds.
