Oxford New Theatre – Fedora – 1896
An original theatre programme for Fedora at The New Theatre, Oxford, dated 30 January 1896. The cast includes Otho Stuart, Guy Fraser, Patrick Evans, Ada Ferrar, Ernest Hand and Clarisse Reynolds.
Victorien Sardou’s melodrama of a Russian princess seeking revenge for her fiancé’s murder was one of the great star vehicles of the late nineteenth century.
A very clean Victorian survivor and an excellent example of old theatre programmes from the 1890s.
