A rare theatre programme published in the form of a newspaper by The Theatrical Companion, with an evening edition sold at the theatre doors.
Another aspect of its rarity is the misdate on the front of the theatre programme. 1838 April 13th was a Friday, not a Saturday. Open the programme and the published date on the Theatrical Companion is Saturday, April 1839, which is correct.
