Programme for the pre-London tryout premiere of the Terence Rattigan play “The Sleeping Prince” which opened at the Opera House in Manchester on 28 September 1953, playing for just 8 performances before transferring to London. The play starred Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier with Martita Hunt, Richard Wattis, Peter Barkworth and many others. The twelve-page c.6” x 9” programme is in good condition with just minor signs of wear.

NB: The first image on many of my auction listings includes a contrasting banner, highlighting an aspect of the item and enabling my regular customers to spot my items in a list. The banner does not appear on the actual item, as can be seen by the subsequent photos. 


IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT SHIPPING QUOTES:

ALL BUYERS: The shipping quote is based on an estimate of the final selling price. If an item sells for LESS than expected I may be able to reduce the shipping price.  If it sells for MORE then I may be able to boost the insurance level for a small additional payment.  If you buy more than one item I will always reduce the shipping cost as far as possible, but may insist that you insure the package if the total value of the package is high.  If you want a service not quoted, such as surface mail or first class, just ask for a quote.

BUYERS OUTSIDE THE UK: Quotes for AUSTRALIA and USA are accurateFor ALL OTHER COUNTRIES the shipping cost may be significantly less than the quote shown – please ask for an accurate quote to your country before bidding and I’ll be pleased to help. (This especially applies to larger PARCELS and some large-format paper items). The highest level of insurance offered by Royal Mail is £250. If the total value of the contents exceeds this figure then you will be asked to assume the full risk of sending the item(s) or arrange an alternative courier yourself.
