London Arts Theatre – The Rasputin Show – 1968
An original theatre programme for The Rasputin Show at the Arts Theatre, London, dated 2 August 1968. The principal cast listed includes Giles Block, Pam Brighton, Paul Brooke, Timothy Davies, Richard Grant and Roger Gartland.
The Arts Theatre has long been one of London’s most adventurous small playhouses, a home for new and experimental drama.
Programmes from fringe and studio-scale productions of the late 1960s survive in far smaller numbers than West End souvenirs, making them prized by collectors of old theatre programmes and London stage history.
