[York].
[vs.], [1822-28]
Dimensions 140 x 220 mm.
19 single sheet handbills. A trifle creased and browned, some chipping to margins, occasional small holes.
A collection of nineteen playbills, all apparently unrecorded, announcing performances at the Theatre Royal, York throughout the 1820s.
Many of the performances featured actor John Langford Pritchard (1799-1850), a regular on the York circuit from the summer season of 1821.
Plays staged include:
English writer and Shakespearean editor Nicholas Rowe's (1674-1718) penultimate tragedy Jane Shore, first performed at Drury Lane in February 1714 and staged 19 times in its first run.
Playwright and actor John Poole's (1785/6-1872) immensely popular Paul Pry, perhaps the most popular single piece to appear on the stage since The Beggar's Opera a century earlier.
Edward Fitzball's (1793-1873) nautical drama The Flying Dutchman, or, the Phantom Ship, which had debuted at the Adelphi Theatre in 1827.
Laugh When You Can (1798), a five-act comedy by Frederick Reynolds (1764-1841).
