Ken Ford
To see all the programmes I've collected before 2015 please visit my original website at www.kenford.me.uk
Some are from shows I've seen, others I've bought or had passed on to me by others.
In May this year I added to my collection a large number of programmes donated by David Procter. David was leaving Lancashire to live abroad and found it impractical to take all the programmes he had amassed over many years. They are shown below - with the exception of some that I already posess and have previously illustrated on my websites.
NATIONAL THEATRE
ORANGE TREE
ALMEIDA
BOLTON OCTAGON
OLD VIC
RICHMOND THEATRE
DONMAR

VARIOUS VENUES
MANCHESTER ROYAL EXCHANGE
I also added the following programmes to my collection that now totals 2850:
THEATRE ROYAL HAYMARKET
This programme from 1875 is the oldest in my collection
LONDON HIPPODROME
This 1956 programme is my 78th from the London Hippodrome
TERRY'S, WYNDHAM'S, ADELPHI AND GARRICK THEATRES
These programmes are for: My Lady Molly - a Sidney Jones musical, 1903; Little Mary - by J M Barrie, 1903; Em'ly - adapted from David Copperfield, 1903 and The Cricket on the Hearth - also from Dickens, 1904.
All four were printed by W T Haycock & Sons of 'Nell Gwyn House' on Dean Street and carry advertisements for De Reszke cigarettes on the cover
The following programmes are all from the shows that I saw in 2018:
