Prof Alan Hughes of the University of Victoria is your nearest contact. If he no longer has these records you need to start again and work through the programmes. The best sets are British Museum (Stoker Collection) have some, also another Stoker Collection at Stratford-upon-Avon in the Shakepeare Centre Library. Ellen Terry's Museum at Smallhythe in Kent has a set of programmes from 1879. All these are UK sources. If you want addresses or emails then email me direct for this at [email protected] First Night of every production is available in both Brereton's biog of Irving or Laurence Irving's biog of his grandfather. This would be a starting point. Most seasons played revivals, May through July in preparation for Autumn Tours both in the UK and in USA. Two other sources but may not be complete runs are the Theatre Museum and the Mander & Mitchenson Theatre Collection both in London. Happy Hunting.
