A Victorian play by Laurence Housman
Produced by Lance Sieveking
Cast
Time, The early eighteen-seventies. Place, The Deanery, Westminster
This is the first performance of a new scene in the now-famous Victoria Regina saga which has occupied the pen of Laurence Housman so extensively through the last twenty years. Pamela Stanley played the part of Queen Victoria with remarkable success in the original production of Victoria Regina at the Gate Theatre in May, 1935, and again at the Lyric Theatre in 1937. She has broadcast in the part more than once. James Woodburn played the part of another rugged Scot, John Brown , in the original production.
Followed at 10.54 by 'The Mistral' by Lyn Durham

Time, The other day. Place, A cheap rooming-house in Cannes
