London Adelphi Theatre – Proof – 1878
An original theatre programme for Proof at the Adelphi Theatre, London, dated 4 May 1878. The cast includes F Moreland, J Coventry, K Bentley, Mr Waring and Miss Hudspeth.
In the Victorian era the Adelphi was famous for its sensational melodramas, so much so that “Adelphi drama” became a byword for thrilling, emotional stage spectacle.
A fine Strand survivor and a desirable example of old theatre programmes from the 1870s.
