EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment English actress Freda Wyn, born Winifred A Ryeland (1916-1989), effortlessly balances in a handstand during rehearsals for the classic pantomime, "Puss in Boots," at Streatham Hill Theatre in South West London, 1957. Known for her comedic flair, Freda starred alongside the renowned comic actor Jimmy Edwards in this beloved production. Donning a feline costume, complete with cat ears and a bushy tail, Freda's playful expression and the painted backdrop of quaint buildings and a wheel create an enchanting scene. As the actress gracefully holds her pose, her paws suspended in mid-air, one can't help but be captivated by the whimsy and humor of this 1950s theatrical moment. This photograph is a testament to Freda's versatility as a performer and her ability to bring joy and laughter to audiences through her entertaining portrayals.
