About This Item
[i-vi,1]-111,[112-121] pp. Octavo, fine/near fine; though the dj appears to be price clipped, the price stamp of the National Theatre Bookshop in London appears just there. Carefully annotated theater programs, annotated by Gielgud from the age of 13 to 21, were saved by his mother and donated to the Raymond Mander and Joe Mitchenson Theatre Collection. Gielgud adds comments 70 years later. Generously illustrated throughout with photos of the programs and of the productions, perhaps more than 150 photos. Produced to celebrate his 90th birthday. Inscribed by Gielgud in May, 1994, and shortly after by Dave & Matt to Dr. T. (composer Millard Thomson).
