[Two 15-year-olds interviewed the architects for the job and told them exactly what they wanted: in a word, playfulness. The auditorium is a horseshoe of red corrugated plastic and industrial metalwork.] An adult client for a 120-seat auditorium would never have come up with this, and I don't think we would have on our own either,.. We'd never have thought of making an elliptical theatre. It has some of the qualities of a Victorian playhouse, and a sense of glamour.

The waist thing has been brewing for some time, but it now chimes with our interest in a 50s silhouette, and the Victorian one. Ideas always take time to hit the street, though. Some looks are proposed but not accepted.. It was the same with flapper dresses, maxi coats. Remember that no woman under 45 has ever worn anything like this.

The morgue is a Victorian update of a system established by Alfred the Great. It's the place where certain deaths are resolved - those where the cause is unclear or is the result of some intended or accidental violence. The bodies are almost always victims in some way - of crime, suicides and car crashes, but also victims of loneliness. It's where you go if you die alone in your flat and your body lies undisturbed for days. It's where you go if no one knew you were dying and no GP attended your final hours. It's where you go if no loved one held your hand as you slipped away. In one way or another, then, all the people who pass through this room are the people who die screaming.
