A genuine antique single sheet theatre programme for School Of Reform at the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, dated 26 July 1819. The cast included J Johnstone and Mr Emery.
Thomas Morton’s comedy, first produced at Covent Garden in 1805, was a favourite of the Regency stage, best remembered for its Yorkshire servant Tyke.
Playbills from over two centuries ago are rare survivors, and this Georgian Edinburgh bill is an exceptional piece for collectors of old theatre programmes.
