London Phoenix Theatre Apple Cart – 1977 – Penelope Keith

About this The Apple Cart theatre programme

An original theatre programme for The Apple Cart at the Phoenix Theatre, London, from November 1977. The cast includes Penelope Keith, then famous as Margo in The Good Life, together with Tony Robinson and Peter Sugden, in George Bernard Shaw’s political comedy about a clever king who outwits his scheming cabinet. Spotting much-loved television faces on the London stage is part of the fun of collecting theatre programmes and 1970s theatre memorabilia.
