London Royal Lyceum Theatre – Dead Heart – 1889

An original programme for The Dead Heart at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, London, dated 18 October 1889, with Henry Irving and Gordon Craig named in the cast.

Watts Phillips’ melodrama of the French Revolution was first produced in 1859 and Irving revived it at the Lyceum in 1889, playing Robert Landry.

With an early stage credit for Edward Gordon Craig, this is a fascinating piece of Victorian theatre memorabilia for collectors of old theatre programmes.
