New Oxford University Theatre – ADS – Taming Of The Shrew – 1897
An original theatre programme for Shakespeare’s Taming Of The Shrew, presented by the Oxford University dramatic society (OADS) at the New Theatre, Oxford, in 1897.
The cast includes Viscount Suirdale, Comyns Carr, E Penton, B T Holland, Miss Cambell and Mable Lewis.
University dramatics were a lively part of Victorian Oxford life, and programmes like this record undergraduates on the stage, some of whom went on to notable careers.
A lovely piece of theatre memorabilia for collectors of Shakespeare and old theatre programmes.
