London Marylebone Theatre – Macbeth – 1874
An original Victorian programme from the Marylebone Theatre, London, dated 19 September 1874, featuring Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Hamlet and Othello.
The cast includes Mr M Roberts, Mr H Granville, Miss Rowland, George Skinner, Miss Jenny Major and Mr H Allen. The programme has been laid down onto a sheet of paper, attached by the rear cover only, so it still opens.
Shakespeare in rotation at a popular London playhouse makes this an appealing piece of Victorian theatre memorabilia and old theatre programmes.
