Above - A Programme for 'Madame Favart' at the Royal Avenue Theatre Circa 1880s - The sole Lessee mentioned on this programme was Edmund Burke, whose real name was Ezekiel Benjamin. He was born in Singapore but was apparently sent to England because he was the black sheep of the family. On arriving in England he decided that he needed a more English name and so took the name Edmund Burke - Information Courtesy Lucy van der Linden-Moloney
