Manchester Opera House – Dandy Dick – 1945
An original programme for Arthur Wing Pinero’s Dandy Dick at the Opera House, Manchester, dated 15 October 1945. The cast includes Sydney Howard, Joan Benham, Nuna Davey, Richard Wattis, Betty Hardy and Donald Finlay.
Pinero’s 1887 farce follows a respectable country Dean who is drawn into gambling on a racehorse named Dandy Dick, with chaotic results.
Programmes from the months right after the Second World War are a fascinating strand of old theatre programmes.
