Edinburgh Theatre Royal – Jaunty Jane Shore – Burlesque – 1894
An original single sheet theatre programme for the burlesque Jaunty Jane Shore at the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, Scotland, dated 15 October 1894. The cast includes Alice Atherton, Edward Lewis, Marie Shields and Rita Presano.
The burlesque made comic fun of the story of Jane Shore, a figure long popular in serious tragedy, in the punning, song-filled style beloved of Victorian audiences.
A scarce piece of Victorian comedy and a fine example of old theatre programmes from Scotland.
