Item description
Up for sale is a fantastic, authentic mid-century theatre programme from the historic Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham, dating back to May 1956.
This piece of British theatrical history captures the Alexandra Repertory Company’s production of Alan Melville’s comedy Simon and Laura. The cast features highly prolific 20th-century British television and stage character actors early in their careers, including Leslie Sands (famous for numerous classic British drama and police series roles) and Rex Garner.
The programme serves as an exceptional cultural snapshot of 1950s Birmingham and West Midlands business life. It features beautiful, graphic period advertisements including:
- Davenports Beer (“It’s Good, It’s Very Good”)
- M&B Export Pale Ale (Mitchells & Butlers)
- Hercules Bicycles (Aston, Birmingham)
- Collins Fur Co. (Bournville)
- The Birmingham Mail newspaper
- Helena M. Ladd Hair Stylists (Stratford-upon-Avon)
- Reeve & Stedeford Ltd. (Broad St, Birmingham – Disabled drivers hand control equipment)
