London Criterion Theatre – The Guinea Pig – 1946
A programme from the Criterion Theatre, London, 1946, for The Guinea Pig, with George Bryden, Rachel Gurney, Edith Sharpe, Cecil Trouncer, Joan Hickson and Duncan Lewis.
Warren Chetham-Strode’s play follows a tobacconist’s son who wins a place at a grand public school, and the struggles on both sides as he and the school learn to adapt.
A perceptive drama of a changing Britain, this is a worthwhile addition to a collection of old theatre programmes.
