London Cottesloe Theatre – Half Life – 1977

About this Half Life theatre programme

An original theatre programme for Half Life at the Cottesloe Theatre, London, in 1977, performed by the National Theatre Company. Julian Mitchell’s witty play centres on an elderly, acid-tongued archaeologist and the guests who gather at his country house. From the very first year of the National’s studio auditorium, this is a nice piece of theatre memorabilia for National Theatre collectors.
