EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the depth of emotion and despair portrayed by the renowned British actress Gladys Cooper in her role as Lesley Crosbie in Somerset Maugham's classic play, "The Letter." The image, taken during the production's run in 1927, shows Cooper sitting dejectedly on a chair, her hands clasped tightly around a letter, her face etched with sorrow and anguish. Maugham's "The Letter" is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions. The play, which premiered in London in 1927, was based on a short story by Maugham and tells the story of Lesley Crosbie, a wealthy Englishwoman living in the Far East, who shoots and kills her husband's lover, Sheila, in a fit of jealous rage. The letter in question is the incriminating correspondence between her husband and his mistress, which Lesley discovers and reads, leading her to commit the fatal act. Cooper's portrayal of Lesley Crosbie was widely acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, with many praising her ability to convey the complex emotions of a woman driven to the brink of madness by jealousy and betrayal. The photograph captures a moment of quiet reflection, as Lesley comes to terms with the reality of her actions and the consequences they will bring. This historical photograph is a testament to the power of live theatre to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the timeless themes of love, betrayal, and the human condition. The image of Gladys Cooper as Lesley Crosbie, sitting dejectedly with a clasped letter, will forever be etched in the annals of theatre history as a poignant reminder of the depths of human emotion and the consequences of our actions.
