Black and white photograph showing the gods of the Comedy Theatre. The photograph is taken from inside the gods, and from a position to stage left, so as to focus downward, from a steep angle, onto the boxes to stage right. Within the gods, the individual upholstered seating has been stripped away, leaving a series of dilapidated steps; below, the safety curtain, which is decorated with a stylised sunset design, and the drapery and fronts of the dress circle and upper circle boxes to stage right, can also be seen.
