London Royal Lyceum Theatre – Amber Heart – 1888
An original theatre programme from the Royal Lyceum Theatre, London, dated 5 June 1888, for a double bill of The Amber Heart and Robert Macaire, with Henry Irving and Weedon Grossmith.
Alfred C Calmour’s poetic fairy play was a showcase for Ellen Terry, while Irving delighted audiences as the roguish swindler Robert Macaire.
A classic Irving-era Lyceum bill, this is a superb piece for collectors of old theatre programmes and Victorian stage history.
