An original programme for Chekhov’s Three Sisters performed by the Moscow Art Theatre at Sadler’s Wells Theatre, London, in 1958, hand signed by the Russian actresses Kira Ivanova, Margarita Yurieva and Raisa Maximova.
The company’s 1958 London season, at the height of the Cold War, was a major cultural event. Russian-signed material of this kind rarely appears, making this an outstanding piece of signed theatre memorabilia.
