London Streatham Hill Theatre – Cocktail Party – 1951
An original theatre programme for T.S. Eliot’s The Cocktail Party at the Streatham Hill Theatre, London, in 1951. The cast includes Ernest Clark, Gladys Boot, Donald Houston, Irene Worth, Hugh Sinclair and James Raglan.
Eliot’s verse drama, a sophisticated drawing-room comedy with a spiritual undercurrent, was one of the major theatrical events of its time.
Programmes for Eliot’s plays are a distinguished part of old theatre programmes, and the Streatham Hill Theatre was one of London’s grandest suburban playhouses.
