London Royal Adelphi Theatre – Proof – 1878
An original theatre programme for Proof at the Royal Adelphi Theatre, London, dated 4 May 1878. The cast includes Arthur Stirling, Miss K Barry, James Johnson and Mr S Emery.
The Adelphi was London’s home of thrilling melodrama throughout the Victorian era, and programmes from the 1870s are increasingly hard to find. A lovely piece of theatre memorabilia for collectors of old theatre programmes.
