London Garrick Theatre – Fings Ain't Wot They Used To Be – 1960
An original theatre programme for Fings Ain’t Wot They Used To Be at the Garrick Theatre, London, dated 11 February 1960.
Frank Norman’s cockney musical of Soho low-life, with music and lyrics by Lionel Bart, came from Joan Littlewood’s Theatre Workshop.

With so many familiar faces in one cast, this is a superb theatre programme and a classic of old theatre programmes.
