EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the roaring 1920s with this promotional postcard for Noel Coward's first theatrical production, "I'll Leave It To You." This image transports us to the world of popular entertainment, where the allure of the stage beckons. Above the placard advertising the play, the question "Where shall we go to, my pretty maid?" is posed, a seemingly innocuous inquiry that belies the intrigue and excitement that awaits within the theatre's walls. The production of "I'll Leave It To You" marked Coward's debut on the London stage, and it premiered at the Gaiety Theatre in Manchester on May 3, 1920, before transferring to the New Theatre on July 21, 1920. The play, with its witty dialogue and clever twists, quickly became a sensation, establishing Coward as a leading figure in the world of British theatre. As you gaze at this evocative postcard, imagine the anticipation of the diners and theatre-goers as they make their way to their tables or seats, eager to be transported into the world of Coward's creation. The promise of a night of laughter, intrigue, and entertainment awaits, and the question posed on the placard seems to echo in the air, inviting us all to join in the adventure. This postcard is a delightful reminder of the magic of the 1920s, a time when the theatre was the place to be for those seeking an escape from the ordinary. Whether you're a fan of Coward's work or simply intrigued by the history of the theatre, this postcard is a must-have for any collection of vintage promotional materials.
