Brief description: Playbill, 'Jo' at Globe Theatre, Newcastle Street, Strand, 1877
Label: Bleak House was not much adapted for the stage in Dickens’s life. However after his death in 1870 there was an explosion in opportunism and over 40 adaptions of Bleak House were staged in the following years, including Jo at the Globe Theatre by J. P. Burnett, featuring his wife Jennie Lee as the titular waif, for which she received good reviews.
