Description: This is a rare July 1969 programme (playbill) with two August 12th, 1969 ticket stubs from the Original West End production of the landmark MART CROWLEY play "THE BOYS IN THE BAND" at Wyndham's Theatre in London. (The Original Off-Broadway production opened April 14th, 1968 at Theatre Four in New York City and ran for 1001 performances. The London production began previews on February 5th, 1969, officially opened February 11th, 1969 and ran for almost one year, closing January 10th, 1970.) ..... The controversial play was among the first to revolve around gay characters and the motion picture released two years later (with the play's original cast) is often cited as a milestone in the history of "queer cinema". With the exception of one actor, the original New York Cast crossed the Atlantic to repeat their roles in London, but only in the first few months. The cast included DOUGLAS LAMBERT as "Michael", DONALD DOUGLAS as "Alan", JOHN CARLISLE as "Harold", TERRY SCULLY as "Emory", GRAHAM JAMES as "Donald", WILLIAM GAUNT as "Hank", TONY ANHOLT as "Larry", JOHN HAMILL as "Cowboy" and NEVILLE AURELIUS as "Bernard" ..... CREDITS: Book by MART CROWLEY; Sets designed by PETER HARVEY; Directed by ROBERT MOORE; Produced by PETER BRIDGE and RALPH FIELDS by arrangement with DONALD ALBERY and in association with RICHARD BARR and CHARLES WOODWARD ..... DETAILS: The 24 page playbill measures 6" X 9" inches and includes full production credits, cast list and individual photos and bios of each of the actors and members of the creative team. Includes two ticket stubs from the August 12th, 1969 evening performance stapled to the front cover ..... CONDITION: With the exception of minor edge wear, this rare playbill is in excellent condition and will make a wonderful addition to the collection of any theatre aficionado or historian. This item will be carefully packaged in a protective, carded sleeve and backed by stiff cardboard.
