A Penny Plain or Two pence Coloured - A colourful and seasonal exhibition from the collection of John M Blundall
'A Penny Plain and Two pence Coloured' This well known phrase by Robert Louis Stevenson introduces us to the world of the miniature theatre with its heroes, heroines, clowns and harlequins, rogues and vagabonds.
