Apollo Theatre collapse: Initial safety checks complete

Initial safety checks at a London theatre where a part of a ceiling collapsed have been completed.

Seventy-six people were injured when ornate plasterwork at the Apollo fell during a production of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time.

The Shaftesbury Avenue venue has been handed back to the Apollo's owner, Nimax Theatres, by the authorities.

Most of the injured were treated for cuts and bruises, and discharged after a short time. Performances at the Apollo have been cancelled until 4 January.

I'm surprised its not staying closed longer unless 4th January is just provisional.
