A 129-year-old instrument central to an upcoming theatre production of Captain Corelli's Mandolin has been lost less than a month before the show's opening night.
Alex Mugnaioni, who plays the dashing Captain Antonio Corelli in the adaptation of British writer Louis de Bernieres' 1994 book, misplaced the mandolin after rehearsals on Tuesday.
The Neapolitan instrument is thought to have gone missing on the 18.34 Southeastern train service from London Bridge to Sidcup.
