London Garrick Theatre – Born Yesterday – Laurence Olivier
An original theatre programme for Born Yesterday at the Garrick Theatre, London, dated 27 October 1947.
The production was directed by Laurence Olivier, and the cast included William Kemp, Eric Booth, John Clifford, Bessie Love and Michael Lynd.
Garson Kanin’s Broadway comedy follows the brash scrap-metal tycoon Harry Brock and his seemingly dim girlfriend Billie Dawn, who proves far sharper than anyone expects.
With Olivier’s name as director, this is a sought-after piece of post-war West End theatre memorabilia.
