It opened in 1884 and was renamed “The Prince of Wales” after the future King Edward VII in 1886. The theatre was rebuilt in 1937 and has been owned by Delmont Mackintosh Theatres since the early 2000’s. It was extensively expanded and refurbished in 2003-4 and reopened (with Mamma Mia) in 2007In the first quarter of the 1900’s the Theatre (together with a number of others) was managed by Frank Curzon and, at times, actor/manager Charles Hawtry. During this period Hawtry, and his wife Isabel Jay, performed in various productions and other notable performers included Marie Tempest, Becky Sharp, Ivor Novello, Gertrude Lawrence, Stanley Holloway, Jack Buchanan, and Jessie Matthews.

All Customs restrictions and any Duty or Import charges are the buyers responsibility *Notes on Programme Condition* Many of our programmes are over 50 years old (some are 100 years or more) and consequently usually have signs of "yellowing", "tanning/toning" and, in some cases, "foxing" (brown spots). Print quality varies and there may also be some small creases, thumbed corners and minor tears along the edges of the pages and, particularly, the covers. Some programmes have poorly and unevenly cut edges to the covers and inner pages. If metal staples were used they may have rusted, partially or completely, leaving rust stains and some, or all, of the pages unstapled. In some instances, the crease along the seam (fold) of the cover pages may have split resulting in the covers separating.Depending on the extent of the various imperfections, and the programmes age, we grade it as being “Very Good, Good, Moderate, Poor or Very Poor” and, if we consider it relevant, we will specify significant damage. The grading and comments are our own opinion and not any form of “warranty”. Please study the photos before bidding for, or purchasing, any programme 🙃E & OE
