Stafford Sandonia Theatre – Creaking Chair – 1928
A theatre programme for Creaking Chair, staged by The County Players at the Sandonia Theatre, Stafford, on 28 April 1928. The cast included Arnold Platts, Edith Littleton, Arthur Plant and Patrick Maitland.
Mystery thrillers with a touch of the macabre were hugely popular in the late 1920s, and this one gave local audiences a good dose of suspense.
Interwar provincial programmes such as this capture the golden age of the stage thriller and make a characterful addition to any collection of old theatre programmes.
