EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the members of The Arts League of Service's Travelling Theatre company, posing next to their trusty mode of transportation - a van adorned with the logo of the esteemed arts organization. Established in 1919, The Arts League of Service was a pioneering group dedicated to bringing the performing arts to underprivileged communities across the United Kingdom. The Travelling Theatre was a key component of their mission, allowing them to reach remote areas that were otherwise inaccessible to professional theatre. George Bernard Shaw, a renowned playwright and social commentator, was among the many luminaries who lent their support to the League in its early days. The image captures the spirit of the company's performers, who appear eager and excited to embark on their next journey. Among them, we see a singer, a troupe of actors, and actresses, all dressed in their performance attire, ready to entertain and inspire. The van, a testament to the company's resourcefulness, is transformed into a makeshift stage and dressing room. The presence of a lorry and a wagon suggests that the company carried not only their costumes and props but also scenery and set pieces. This wandering troupe of artists, with their combined passion for the arts and their commitment to serving the community, embodied the spirit of the Arts League of Service and the transformative power of theatre. The photograph, taken circa 1920, offers a glimpse into the rich history of this groundbreaking organization and the invaluable role it played in bringing the performing arts to the masses. The Travelling Theatre company's legacy continues to inspire artists and arts organizations to this day, as they strive to make the arts accessible to all.
