Item Overview:
An authentic original 1951 theater programme for the Glasgow Citizens’ Theatre production of “Green Cars Go East.” Written by famed Irish-born dramatist Paul Vincent Carroll, this compelling urban drama is set in the East End of Glasgow. The production was directed by Michael Finlayson with stage settings beautifully designed and executed by John Wilson. It serves as a fascinating social record of post-war Glaswegian life and stage production history.
