Hartlepool Gaiety Theatre – Crimson Rock – 1879
An original Victorian programme for Crimson Rock at the Gaiety Theatre, Hartlepool, dated 13 October 1879. The principal cast includes Alfred Parry, Annie Mulvey, Millie Holland and Sophie Fairbrother.
Touring companies brought melodramas like this to provincial theatres across the North East, where Victorian audiences flocked to sensational plays.
Provincial playbills and programmes from the 1870s are scarce survivors and highly sought after among old theatre programmes.
