Aladdin Chase Malvern Orientalism Panto Pantomime Productions Running Worcester
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this enchanting photograph from the Malvern Theatre in Worcester, circa 1906. The scene captures the excitement and magic of the annual pantomime production of "Aladdin" by C & A Productions. In this moment, Aladdin, the hero of the story, is shown in full flight during a thrilling chase scene. Dressed in Eastern attire, Aladdin weaves through a maze of colorful props and scenery, pursued by the evil Abanazar, the sorcerer. The orientalist setting, with its intricate china backdrops and exotic decor, transports us to a far-off land of enchantment and wonder. The Edwardian era was a time when pantomime was at its peak in popularity, and the Malvern Theatre was known for its elaborate and entertaining productions. The audience would have been on the edge of their seats, cheering and laughing as Aladdin outwitted Abanazar and saved the day. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of pantomime entertainment during the early 1900s. It's a reminder of the power of storytelling and the magic of live theatre, which continues to captivate and delight audiences to this day.
