Blackfriars Arts Centreとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Blackfriars Arts Centre is a theatre and community centre located in Boston, Lincolnshire, England built on the site of a mediaeval friary. The Blackfriars friary was formed some time during the 13th Century. The first written record is from 1288 when it was noted that the friary had been rebuilt after being destroyed by fire. In 1300 the friary housed a total of 29 friars. Blackfriars was closed during the reign of King Henry VIII after he separated from the Catholic church. The surviving building, which is believed to be the dining room, was converted into a theatre in 1965. Blackfriars is said to be haunted by a friar, who hides sharp objects left by theatregoers under the stage.
