Here's an extraordinary thing… In 1969 the actor Alan Rickman was no more than a keen amateur actor, studying at the Royal College of Art. This programme, produced for just three performances in March 1969 at the Stanhope Theatre in London NW1 names him in the cast of “The Relapse”, playing Lord Foppington, Sir Novelty Fashion. Rickman apparently also designed the programme and his future wife Rima Horton played one of his pages! Although he is referred to in the programme only by his surname, also included is a newsletter from the Court Drama Group who produced the play. This names both Alan and Rima.   The large-format 21cm by 25.5cm programme has eight pages and is in fair condition, with a few light marks and creases. The folded newsletter is double-sided and is only shown in part in my images. Surely one of the hardest Alan Rickman programmes to find?
