A Peek into the Past: Children at Drury Lane Theatre School in 1889 Receiving Lessons Amidst the Magic of Pantomime This photograph, taken in 1889, offers a rare glimpse into the history of Drury Lane Theatre and the lives of the children who worked in its famous pantomimes. The image shows a group of young scholars seated at desks, engrossed in their studies, within the very heart of the theatre. Drury Lane Theatre, a historical landmark in London's West End, has a rich and storied past, with its pantomimes being a beloved tradition for generations. This photograph provides a fascinating insight into the lives of the children who contributed to the production of these magical shows. The children in the photograph are likely students of the theatre school attached to Drury Lane, which provided education to the young performers who graced the stage during the pantomime season. The presence of desks and books suggests that the children were receiving formal lessons, ensuring they were well-equipped to handle the demands of their roles both on and off stage. Despite the seemingly mundane setting, the photograph exudes an air of magic and wonder. The children, dressed in their best attire, sit amidst the grandeur of the theatre, surrounded by the remnants of the previous night's pantomime performance. The ornate decor and theatrical backdrop serve as a constant reminder of the enchanting world they were a part of.
