Derby Lecture Hall – The Culprit – 1865
An original programme for The Culprit at the Lecture Hall, Derby, dated 24 February 1865, with principal cast including Eliza Saville and Mr H Lemon.
In mid-Victorian towns, lecture halls and assembly rooms often hosted touring players, giving local audiences a taste of drama alongside concerts and public talks.
Provincial programmes from the 1860s are rarely found today, making this Derby example a valuable piece of local history and a fine addition to any collection of old theatre programmes.

Did you know?
- This performance took place just weeks before the end of the American Civil War in April 1865.
- Derby’s Grand Theatre on Babington Lane did not open until 1886, so in the 1860s halls like this were vital venues for touring drama.
