Title

The Morning Star - Programme, 1943

Date

5 July 1943

Description

Full programme for drama The Morning Star written by and starring Emlyn Williams.

What's the story?

The Morning Star by Emlyn Williams is set in London in 1940 and deals with how one family deals with the harsh realities of war.
Williams also produced and starred in the production.
It is interesting to note how the programme points out the use of an air raid siren as part of the action of the play, presumably to ensure that the audience do not believe it is the real thing.
The Morning Star was produced in repertoire in the same week at the Theatre Royal with Williams’ Night Must Fall.
