EDITORS COMMENTS
Androcles and the Lion" is a classic play by renowned Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, first performed at the St. James Theatre in London in 1913. This production brought to life the timeless tale of friendship and mercy, with Shaw's unique Shavian wit and social commentary. In this striking photograph from the performance, we see Emperor Leon Quartermaine (played by Leon Quartermaine) asserting his power and authority in a most unexpected way. With a regal air, he places his foot on the head of the fearsome lion, portrayed by Edward Sillward, demonstrating his control over the beast. By his side, Androcles (O.P. Heggie) keeps the lion calm, showcasing the bond between man and beast that forms the heart of the story. Set against the backdrop of ancient Rome, "Androcles and the Lion" explores themes of persecution, forgiveness, and the power of compassion. The play follows Androcles, a Christian fugitive, who is saved by the lion he had once healed, when the beast spares his life in the Colosseum. In a twist of fate, Androcles is later captured and brought before Emperor Leo, who, moved by the tale of the lion's loyalty, pardons the Christians in his realm. This photograph, taken during the 1913 production, offers a glimpse into the theatrical magic that brought Shaw's words to life on the stage over a century ago. The powerful image of the emperor's dominance over the lion, juxtaposed with the tender moment between Androcles and the beast, encapsulates the essence of this play.
