London Greenwich Theatre – Catsplay – 1973 – Penelope Keith

About this Catsplay theatre programme

An original theatre programme for Catsplay at the Greenwich Theatre, London, in 1973. The cast includes Penelope Keith, Elizabeth Bergner, Maggie Fitzgibbon, Mike Murray, Harold Kasket and John Rogan. Istvan Orkeny’s bittersweet Hungarian comedy concerns two elderly sisters, one in Budapest and one in Germany, and a widow’s passionate late-life romance. Featuring the great Elizabeth Bergner and Penelope Keith before her TV fame, this is a lovely piece of theatre memorabilia.
