London Criterion Theatre – Rosemary – 1896

A Victorian theatre programme for Rosemary at the Criterion Theatre, London, dated 7 December 1896. The cast included Charles Wyndham, Alfred Bishop, Mary Moore and James Welch.

The play is a sentimental comedy by Louis N. Parker and Murray Carson, set in the 1830s around the time of Queen Victoria’s coronation, and it was a great success for Wyndham’s company.
