Liverpool Royal Court Theatre – Trial By Jury – 1940
An original wartime programme for Gilbert and Sullivan’s Trial By Jury, performed by the D’oyly Carte Opera Company at the Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool, dated 25 March 1940.
This short, sparkling comic opera satirises the law as a jilted bride sues her fickle fiancé for breach of promise before a susceptible judge.
D’Oyly Carte programmes from the early war years are a lovely find for collectors of Gilbert and Sullivan and old theatre programmes.
