New Oxford University Theatre – ADS – Romeo And Juliet – 1898
An original theatre programme for Shakespeare’s Romeo And Juliet, presented by the Oxford University dramatic society (OADS) at the New Oxford University Theatre, dated 16 February 1898.
The cast includes Lillian Collen, Blanche Cockling, B Limpus, E K Talbot, C P Nickalls and Margaret Fletcher.
Programmes from Victorian university productions are much scarcer than West End bills, making this an appealing piece of theatre memorabilia for Oxford and Shakespeare collectors and anyone interested in old theatre programmes.
