EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of 'The Midnight Wedding' as depicted in this promotional postcard from 1908. This image showcases a scene from the popular play written by Walter Howard and produced by Alfred Paumier's company. The Midnight Wedding first premiered at the Junction Theatre in Manchester in 1905, and went on to be performed at the West London Theatre in 1907 and the Lyceum Theatre in 1907. In this intriguing scene, a secretive midnight wedding ceremony takes place on the theatre stage. The bride and groom, dressed in their finest attire, exchange vows under the watchful eye of a priest, as a group of officers look on in surprise. The atmosphere is filled with excitement, mystery, and a touch of mischief. The Midnight Wedding was a staple of early 20th century popular entertainment, and its enduring appeal is evident in this beautiful promotional image. The play, which revolves around the theme of secret marriages, was a favorite among audiences and continued to be toured extensively, including a performance at the Opera House in Northampton on 19th November 1908. This postcard is a fascinating glimpse into the world of theatre history, and a reminder of the enchanting productions that captivated audiences over a century ago.
