AN AMATEUR dramatics group from Evesham could close after more than 30 years having had its equipment decimated by fire on Sunday. Phoenix Theatre Group had the majority of its technical equipment, costumes and props wiped out when a neighbouring storage unit caught fire near Broadway. The damage is estimated to be valued at more than £30,000 and while it is hoped insurance will cover the cost, the committee met this week to discuss whether a rebuild is viable. Phoenix chairman Keith Norledge said: Primarily it was a costume and prop store and we had something like 1,500 to 2,000 costumes in there There were various small props, anything from mock guns to tables, and over 30 years so much was accumulated.
