EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a scene from Ralph Spence's play, "The Gorilla," which made its London debut at the Oxford Theatre in 1926, following its premiere at the Royal Court Theatre in Liverpool. The image captures a tense moment during the tour of the production to the Royal Artillery Theatre in Woolwich on April 19, 1926. The stage is set with elaborate props, including a large cage, and the focus is on the gorilla character, who towers over the two human actors, Mulligan and Garrity, both with expressions of confusion and concern. The reverse of the print bears the inscription, "Where The Hell Is Mulligan? Ask Garrity at the Royal Artillery Theatre, Woolwich." The Gorilla was a popular theatrical production of the 1920s that did not provide the usual thrills or laughter that audiences had come to expect from the era's pantomimes or thrillers. Instead, it offered a more mysterious and intriguing narrative that captured the imagination of theatre-goers. The play's unique blend of drama and suspense made it a standout production of the time, despite the mixed reviews it received from critics. The photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of live theatre during the 1920s and the captivating performances that left audiences on the edge of their seats. Ralph Spence was a renowned playwright and actor, known for his innovative and thought-provoking works. The Gorilla marked one of his earliest and most successful productions, paving the way for a successful career in the theatre industry. This photograph is a testament to the power of live performance and the enduring allure of the stage.
