London Piccadilly Theatre – Ann Veronica – 1950s Liz Thorndike
A programme from the Piccadilly Theatre, London, for Ann Veronica, starring Wendy Hiller with Liz Thorndike, George Yates and David Read.
The play is drawn from H. G. Wells’s novel about a spirited young woman who defies her father to seek independence, study science and choose her own path in love.
Starring one of the finest actresses of her generation, this is a fine piece among old theatre programmes from the post-war London stage.
