Eastville Mission Alexandra Hall – She Stoops To Conquer – 1883
A small sized original programme for Oliver Goldsmith’s comedy She Stoops To Conquer, performed at the Eastville Mission, Alexandra Hall, at Easter 1883.
The cast included Eric Ward, Scott Watson, H Harrison, Evan Davies, Miss J Harrison and Mrs Villiers.
Goldsmith’s tale of Marlow and Kate Hardcastle, with its comic mistaking of a private house for an inn, was a favourite with Victorian amateur companies.
Mission hall and amateur programmes of this age are rare survivals and a charming strand of old theatre programmes.
