London Theatre Royal – Decameron Nights – 1940s
A programme from the Theatre Royal, London, for Decameron Nights, with Winifred Davis, Kitty Cadwell, Horace Corbyn and Hugh Buckler.
The romantic spectacle draws on Giovanni Boccaccio’s The Decameron, in which young Florentines escaping the plague tell one another stories of love, trickery and adventure.
A lavish costume drama of the kind for which the Theatre Royal was famous, this is a handsome piece among old theatre programmes.
