French Acting Edition Booklet – He's A Lunatic – 1800s

A small acting edition booklet for He’s A Lunatic, dating from the late 1800s and containing the complete words of the play.

Acting editions like this were sold to amateur and professional companies so they could stage popular plays and farces of the day.

Although well used, this booklet is an authentic survivor of Victorian theatre publishing and an interesting addition to a collection of theatre memorabilia.
