Canvas Prints From Mary Evans Picture Library
You Never Can Tell by George Bernard Shaw
Promotional postcard for You Never Can Tell by George Bernard Shaw. First produced by the Stage Society at the Royalty Theatre, 26th November 1899. The play is set in a seaside town and tells the story of Mrs Clandon and her three children, Dolly, Phillip and Gloria, who have just returned to England after an eighteen-year stay in Madeira. The children have no idea who their father is and, through a comedy of errors, end up inviting him to a family lunch. At the same time a dentist named Valentine has fallen in love with the eldest daughter, Gloria. However, Gloria considers herself a modern woman and claims to have no interest in love or marriage. The play continues with a comedy of errors and confused identities, with the friendly and wise waiter, Walter (most commonly referred to by the characters as " William, " because Dolly thinks he resembles Shakespeare), dispensing his wisdom with the titular phrase " You Never Can Tell." This photo is from the Royal Court Theatre production of 1906. Date: 1906

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the world of George Bernard Shaw's comedic masterpiece, "You Never Can Tell," as depicted in this promotional postcard from the 1906 Royal Court Theatre production. The image transports us back in time to the Royalty Theatre in 1899, where the Stage Society first brought Shaw's witty play to life. At the heart of the story is Mrs. Clandon and her three children, Dolly, Phillip, and Gloria, who have recently returned to England from an eighteen-year sojourn in Madeira. The children are unaware of their true paternity and, in a series of hilarious misunderstandings, end up inviting their father to a family lunch. Meanwhile, a dentist named Valentine has fallen deeply in love with the eldest daughter, Gloria. However, Gloria, who fancies herself a modern woman, dismisses the idea of love and marriage. The play unfolds with a delightful comedy of errors and mistaken identities, all while the wise and friendly waiter, Walter, dispenses his pearls of wisdom with the famous phrase, "You Never Can Tell." This evocative photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Shaw's beloved play and the productions that have brought it to life on stage. Join the Clandon family and the colorful cast of characters in "You Never Can Tell" for an unforgettable journey of love, identity, and the unexpected twists of fate.
