EDITORS COMMENTS
Carol Coombe, the acclaimed British actress who was captivating London audiences with her lead role in the groundbreaking Chinese play, Lady Precious Stream, shares a memorable moment with two esteemed guests during a chopstick lunch at the Little Theatre on John Street in July 1935. Flanked by Mei Lan-Fang, the renowned Chinese actress who had brought the female lead to life on stages across China, and Hsiung Shih-I, the author of the play, this historic photograph encapsulates the cultural fusion that defined the production. Lady Precious Stream, an adaptation of the classic Chinese novel "The Water Margin," marked a significant milestone in the history of Chinese theatre in the West. The play, which premiered in London in 1934, was the first major Chinese production to be staged in the city, and its success paved the way for increased cultural exchange between China and the UK. Carol Coombe's portrayal of the lead character, Lady White Snake, was praised for her authenticity and sensitivity, while Mei Lan-Fang's performance as the Green Snake earned her international acclaim. Hsiung Shih-I, a respected scholar and playwright, was instrumental in bringing the play to the Western world, ensuring that the rich traditions of Chinese theatre were preserved and shared with a new audience. This photograph offers a glimpse into the unique collaboration between Eastern and Western artists, as they came together to celebrate their shared passion for the art of storytelling. The warm smiles and relaxed atmosphere convey a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect, making this moment a cherished memory in the annals of theatre history.
