London Shaftesbury Theatre – Morocco Bound – 1893
An original programme for Morocco Bound at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London, in 1893. This ‘musical farcical comedy’ follows a group of English adventurers who head to Morocco to seek a concession to open music halls there.

One of the earliest examples of the new Edwardian-style musical comedy, this is a significant piece of Victorian theatre memorabilia.
