The £10 million revamp of Glasgow's Citizens Theatre revealed last Saturday in this newspaper may well be "the most significant since it opened in 1878", but I well recall writing a feature for the former broadsheet Weekender section of The Herald, interviewing Giles Havergal about the unveiling of the current foyer space.
With the help of a substantial grant from the former Glasgow Development Agency, in typical Citz style the wide-open spaces envisaged by the GDA-appointed architect lasted about five minutes, before chunks were converted into two studio spaces, the smaller of which became the venue for the first production of Trainspotting, while the other survives yet.
