Description: This is a rare programme (playbill) from the Original West End production of the Improvisational Entertainment "THE PREMISE" at the Comedy Theatre in London. (The Original Off-Broadway production opened November 22nd, 1960 at the Premise Theatre in New York City and ran for 1249 performances. The London production opened July 26th, 1962.) ..... In 1954, THEODORE J. FLICKER became a member of Chicago's Compass Theater, America's first theater of Improvisational Comedy, a sub-genre he founded with fellow comedy pioneer ELAINE MAY. When "The Premise" premiered in New York in 1960, theatregoers enthusiastically accepted the newest form of dramatic entertainment - Improvisational Theatre. Many of the scenes performed were the result of audience suggestions and others were plucked from the current events of the day. The only thing certain was that no two performances would be exactly the same ..... The London cast transferred from New York and included THEODORE J. FLICKER, THOMAS ALDREDGE, JOAN DARLING and JAMES FRAWLEY ..... CREDITS: Music by the WILL TODD TRIO; Associate Directors: GEORGE MORRISON and SANDY BARON; Directed by THEODORE J. FLICKER; Produced by WILLIAM DONALDSON ..... DETAILS: The 16 page playbill measures 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" inches and includes full production credits, cast list, photos and bios of each of the actors and wonderful vintage advertising ..... CONDITION: With the exception of a heavy vertical fold and a corner crease to the last two pages, this playbill is in excellent condition and will make a wonderful addition to the collection of any theatre aficionado or historian. This item will be carefully packaged in a protective, carded sleeve and backed by stiff cardboard.
