Birmingham Prince Of Wales Theatre – Our Boys – 1875
An original Victorian programme for Our Boys at the Prince Of Wales Theatre, Birmingham, dated 31 May 1875.
H. J. Byron’s comedy contrasts two fathers, a self-made butterman and a snobbish baronet, and the sons whose return from their travels sets the plot in motion.
The cast includes Reginald Moore, Edmund Garden, Fanny Brough, Richard Younge, Laura Lindon and Louise Vernon. Dating from the very year the play first opened, this is a superb piece of Victorian theatre memorabilia.
