London Saville Theatre – Up And Doing – 1940s
A theatre programme for the revue Up And Doing at the Saville Theatre, London, from the 1940s, plus a spare programme of the same show from a different date.
The star-studded cast included Leslie Henson, Binnie Hale, Cyril Ritchard and Stanley Holloway. Wartime revues like this kept London laughing with sketches, songs and dances through the darkest days of the Blitz.
A revue packed with favourite stars of the day, this is a cheerful piece of wartime theatre memorabilia.
