Cambridge Arts Theatre – Jacob's Ladder – 1942

A wartime theatre programme for Jacob’s Ladder at the Cambridge Arts Theatre, dated 2 November 1942.

The cast includes the distinguished actor-director Lewis Casson alongside Clemence Dane, Alan Blair and Dinah Malone, at a time when touring and regional theatre kept audiences entertained through the Second World War.

Programmes printed during the war years were often produced on limited paper, so surviving examples are a rewarding addition to any collection of old theatre programmes and wartime theatre memorabilia.
