London Criterion Theatre – Travellers Joy – 1950
A programme from the Criterion Theatre, London, 1950, for Arthur Macrae’s comedy Travellers Joy, with Simon Lack, Dora Bryan, Yvonne Arnaud, Billie Hill, Charles Victor and Helen Christie.
Set among Britons stranded abroad by the tight post-war travel allowance, the play found plenty of laughs in the frustrations of austerity.
Starring the much-loved Yvonne Arnaud, this is a charming piece among old theatre programmes of the early 1950s.
