About this The Father theatre programme

An original theatre programme for The Father with Barbara’s Wedding at the Savoy Theatre, London, dated 23 August 1927, with Robert Loraine, Digby Vernon, Douglas Ross, Dorothy Dix, Maisie Darrell and Haidee Wright. August Strindberg’s intense drama of a marriage torn apart was paired with J. M. Barrie’s short play Barbara’s Wedding.
