About This Item
London: Not published [Nassau Steam Press - W. S Johnson], [1855]. 24pp. Printed theatre notice, excusing errors in the text, loosely inserted. Original printed paper tan wrappers. A trifle rubbed and dusty. Internally clean and crisp. A scarce programme for a staging at the Theatre Royal, Olympic, of an original pantomime based on the Gunpowder Plot, to be performed by 'a company of amateurs' on 31st March, 1855. Peculiarly, the prologue, rather than being in anyway connected to the drama, takes the form of an argument on the merits of theatre between 'The Spirit of Pantomime', 'Modern Drama', and 'The Shade of Shakspere'. OCLC record copies at seven locations (BL, Chicago, Erfurt, Harvard, Illinois, Nottingham, and Rice); COPAC adds two further (Lancaster and Royal Collection). . 8vo.
