London Shaftesbury Theatre – Big Bad Mouse – 1967 Roy Castle
An original theatre programme for Big Bad Mouse at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London, in 1967. The cast is led by Roy Castle and Jimmy Edwards, with Tracey Crisp, Bunny May, Anne Berry, Joan Young and Clovissa Newcombe.
Written by Protected_User_88a8fb3c King and Falkland Cary, the farce became famous for its anarchic ad-libbing, with the stars frequently breaking away from the script to play with the audience.
Comedy farces from the West End are a lively corner of old theatre programmes, and a programme featuring two much-loved British entertainers makes an appealing piece for collectors of 1960s London stage history.
