W. G. R. Sprague - biography
Who is W. G. R. Sprague?
Born in 1863 - died in 1933 Maidenhead
Born in Australia, the son of actress Dolores Drummond who returned with acclaim to London in 1874. He went on to design a large number of theatres and music halls, almost all of them in London. At the height of his career he showed a productivity worthy of mentor Frank Matcham, producing six theatres in Westminster in less than four years. In 1902, the theatre newspaper The Era was describing him as "Britain’s youngest theatrical designer, with more London houses to his credit than any other man in the same profession." Sprague died in Maidenhead. None of his music halls have survived, but several of his theatres still stand.
