There are a few newspaper clippings of reviews of the performances
The programme measures around 31 x 24.5cm, and weighs approximately 500g with 104 pages.
Condition: Very Good. The cover is a bit tatty around the edges. There may be a very small amount of annotation in pencil by the original owner of the programme. Given that the programme is over 50 years old its condition is good but not perfect! The programme pictured below is the one you will receive.
I accept returns. Finally - any questions, just ask!
