London Adelphi Theatre – A Woman's Revenge – 1893
A programme from the Adelphi Theatre, London, dated 1 July 1893, for the melodrama A Woman’s Revenge. The cast includes Charles Warner, Rudge Harding, Howard Russell, Agnes Thomas, Mary Rorke and Herbert Flemming.
In the late Victorian era the Adelphi was so closely linked with sensational melodrama that the style became known simply as “Adelphi melodrama”.
A splendid example of 1890s West End playgoing, this is a desirable piece for collectors of old theatre programmes.
