EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from 1830, showcasing the Theatre in Sheffield during a performance of Lees celebrated tragedy of Alexander the Great. The anticipation is palpable as the playbill announces Mr Butler's portrayal of Alexander, alongside his engagement with Mr Cowan for a limited period. Tonight's spectacle promises not only powerful acting but also enchanting melodies, as Mr Butler takes to the stage to sing two of his favorite songs, accompanied by Miss Vause's graceful dance. But that's not all! The evening reaches its climax with an exhilarating new historical operatic drama called Masaniello, or the Fisherman of Naples. As if transported to another world altogether, spectators are treated to a breathtaking view of Vesuvius erupting on stage. The excitement continues into Tuesday night when theatre-goers will be enthralled by the tragic tale of Douglas and captivated by the new drama John Overy. And just when you think it couldn't get any better, prepare yourself for one last emotional journey as Black Eyed Susan takes its final bow. This remarkable print captures not only a momentous event in Sheffield's theatrical history but also offers us a glimpse into the vibrant cultural scene that once thrived within these walls. Preserved at Sheffield Libraries' Independent Office and now available for your enjoyment.
