An original Victorian programme for Queen’s Evidence at the Prince Of Wales Theatre, Birmingham, dated 11 May 1877. The cast includes Allen Thomas, Bertie Farrel, Hattie Mason, Lizzie Collier, Carrie Collier and Lester Herbert.
Removed from a bound volume of programmes, it remains in really nice condition. Programmes from 1870s provincial theatres are scarce, and this is an excellent example of Victorian old theatre programmes from Birmingham’s theatre history.
