Kings Lynn Theatre Royal – Shakespeare Plays – 1923

An original theatre programme for a presentation of Shakespeare plays at the Theatre Royal, King’s Lynn, dated 5 March 1923. The cast is led by Edward Dunstan and Gertrude Gilbert.

In the 1920s touring Shakespeare companies brought the classics to towns across Britain, often performing several plays in a single week.

Provincial Shakespeare programmes from this period are a scarce and rewarding part of old theatre programmes for collectors of regional theatre history.
