Hunks of plaster and dust rained down on a packed audience when the ceiling of a London theater partially collapsed on the night of Dec. 19. More than 75 people were injured -- seven seriously, authorities said.
The collapse at the Apollo Theatre took place around 8:15 p.m. during a performance of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time at the height of the Christmas holiday season.
The Apollo Theatre, named for the Greek and Roman god of music and the arts, was built in 1901 and has 775 seats. (AP)
