It’s been revealed that David Bowie was working on a new project for the theatre when he died in early 2016.

It was to be a musical set in 18th-century London called 'The Spectator'. Detailed notes have been discovered in his office, which relate to the project. These have now been donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum and will join the rest of Bowie’s archive. This will be available for fans to view when the new David Bowie Centre opens at the V&A East Storehouse in Hackney Wick next week.
