London Savoy Theatre – The Man Who Came To Dinner – 1941
An original wartime theatre programme for Kaufman and Hart’s comedy The Man Who Came To Dinner at the Savoy Theatre, London, from 1941.
Robert Morley heads the cast as the waspish critic Sheridan Whiteside, who breaks his hip and takes over a family’s home, with Constance Lorne, Viola Lyel, Daphne Courtney, Max Spiro and Cameron Hall.
Printed during the Blitz era, this is an evocative example of old theatre programmes and a fine piece of wartime theatre memorabilia.
