EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the magical allure of London's West End theatre scene in the 1940s, with the iconic Lyric and Apollo Theatres proudly standing side by side on Shaftesbury Avenue. The Lyric Theatre, with its distinctive art deco facade, was the home of Robert Morley and Peggy Ashcroft in Edward My Son. Morley, a beloved British actor, shone in the title role of this poignant drama, while Ashcroft's exceptional talent was showcased as Morley's estranged wife. Across the street, the Apollo Theatre played host to Emlyn Williams and Mary Hinton in Trespass. Williams, a versatile Welsh actor and playwright, penned this thought-provoking play, in which he also starred alongside Hinton. The traffic on Shaftesbury Avenue has come to a standstill, allowing the theatregoers to fully appreciate the theatrical splendor of this moment. The Lyric and Apollo Theatres, with their marquees announcing the names of the productions and the stars who graced their stages, remain symbols of London's rich theatrical heritage and the enduring power of live performance.
