Theatre Severn audience hit by falling acoustic panel
A theatre has begun an investigation after an acoustic panel in its auditorium fell on to an audience.
The tile hit three members of the public leaving the Upper Circle after a performance at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury on Friday.
They were seen by St John Ambulance and emergency services but did not need further treatment, the theatre said.
Theatre Severn said it has checked all the remaining acoustic panels in the auditorium are secure.
All current shows will continue as planned, a spokesman said.
