London Folly Theatre – Upper Crust – 1880

An original theatre programme for The Upper Crust at the Folly Theatre, London, dated 31 March 1880, with principal cast including John Billington and Lilian Cavalier.

The Folly was a small theatre on King William Street, near Charing Cross, where comedian J L Toole presented his comedies during this period.

Programmes from this little-remembered Victorian playhouse are scarce, making this a rewarding find for collectors of old theatre programmes.
