This is The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. It was opened in 1971 and, as well as hosting plays and similar performances, has been the venue for the World Snooker Championship since 1977. The theatre has an unusual stage layout with the audience sitting around three of its sides. The building holds Grade II listed status.
Just opposite (to the right of the scene in this photo) lies the Lyceum Theatre, a more traditional (and older – dating back 120 years) venue.

Wonderful atmosphere. Holgas really are special in what they can do, or perhaps more appropriately what they can’t do. Now you’ve piqued my interest about whether or not you also took a photo of the Lyceum Theatre on this same roll… I also really enjoyed yesterday’s “great ball of steel” photo.

Thanks P. Yeah, the Holga is great – I really enjoy the fact that such a basic and lo-fi piece of kit can produce such nice looking photographs. What they lack in technical perfection they make up in charm and feel.
No picture of the Lyceum on this roll I’m afraid, but you can see it here in an older digital shot I took a few years ago: https://flic.kr/p/CZ8tFc
