London Piccadilly Theatre – Privates On Parade – 1978
An original theatre programme for Privates On Parade at the Piccadilly Theatre, London in 1978, with Nigel Hawthorne, Denis Quilley, Emma Williams and Joe Melia.
Peter Nichols’ play with songs follows an army concert party entertaining the troops in Malaya in the late 1940s, mixing music-hall numbers with sharp, darkly comic drama.
Programmes from the play’s original London run are a favourite with fans of Nichols and of its stars, and make a fine piece of 1970s theatre memorabilia.
