Liverpool Grand Opera House – Robin Hood – 1895
A Victorian programme from the Grand Opera House, Liverpool, dated 12 August 1895, for Robin Hood, with a cast including Rosie George, Nannie Meade, Stephen Adeson and George Regan.
The outlaw of Sherwood Forest was a favourite subject for the late Victorian stage, inspiring comic operas, burlesques and pantomimes alike.
Provincial programmes from the 1890s survive in far smaller numbers than London ones, making this a lovely find for collectors of old theatre programmes and Liverpool theatre history.
