Liverpool Royal Court Theatre – Close Quarters – 1941
An original wartime programme for Close Quarters at the Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool, dated 26 May 1941, starring Beatrix Lehmann and Karel Stepanek.
This intense two-character drama is set in the cramped flat of a married couple whose relationship comes under unbearable strain amid political turmoil in Germany.
Dating from just weeks after the heaviest air raids of the Liverpool Blitz, this is a poignant example of old theatre programmes from wartime Britain.
