What’s is Box 33?

This collection of over 70 posters covers a wide range of the shows on stage at the King’s between April 1960 and November 1964. This was when the theatre was run by the Howard & Wyndham theatre empire, one of the largest in the UK. This was also a pivotal moment for variety theatre, in the case of the King’s the ‘Five Past Eight Show’, competing with the shift to at-home entertainment. We’ve pulled out some of our favourites from this collection to scroll through below, or you can download the entire collection at the bottom of this page.
