Note
From dealer's description:"The playbill advertises the 3rd (!) time that Richard III was played at Stora Teatern. C. A. Hagbergs translation was used and adapted for stage by Frans Hedberg using Colley Cibbers English version. The music was composed by August Söderman. The role of Richard was played by Edvard Swartz (1826-1897). This playbill also announces two other plays at Dramatiska Teatern. At this particular time, the Royal Theaters printed commercial advertisements on verso of their playbills, under the heading "Theater-Affischen". The Stockholm Royal Theatre was split into two separate venues in 1863 when the Royal Dramatic Theatre got its own house. The two venues issued a common playbill each day, with performances at the opera house "Stora Teatern" in the left column and at the Dramatic Theater in the right column. Occasionally, when no plays were performed in one of the houses, that column was left blank."
