London Lyceum Theatre – King Henry The Eighth – 1892
A special thick souvenir programme for King Henry the Eighth at the Lyceum Theatre, London, dated 5 January 1892, starring Henry Irving.
Irving’s spectacular staging of Shakespeare’s history play was one of the most lavish productions of his famous Lyceum management, with Irving as Cardinal Wolsey and Ellen Terry as Queen Katharine.
The programme is complete, though it has come away at the spine. An impressive Victorian souvenir and a highlight among old theatre programmes and Lyceum theatre memorabilia.
