I love this programme! In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's my favourite item in the library. I wrote my History Honours thesis on Shakespearean Societies in Australia, and included a chapter on the Brisbane Shakespearean Ball and Pageant. If you're ever looking for more information on the Ball and/or the Brisbane Shakespeare Society, I would be very happy to share what I know :)
