Pym and his wife are among the performers. There are typed copies of other bills and also of the Sale Catalogue of the Costumes, auctioned by Edmund Robins in 1847. The Theatre even gave benefit performances. Also included is a twopenny coloured print of Mr. Marston as Macduff, published by J. Redington. Henry Marston who later played with Phelps at Sadlers Wells presumably began his career as a semi-amateur here in the 1830s before his Drury Lane debut as Benedick in 1839."
