EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "New Drama by Reade and Pettitt," offers a humorous glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre during the production of the melodrama "Love and Money" at the Adelphi Theatre in London, 1882. The writers of this popular play, Charles Reade and Henry Pettitt, are depicted in the background, disguised as waiters, watching intently as a rather irritable actor enjoys his meal. The steam rising from the food and the waiters' attentive expressions add to the theatrical atmosphere. The writers, known for their dainty star actors, are seen here in a more unassuming role, providing a delightful contrast to the high drama unfolding on the stage. This intriguing image offers a unique perspective on the behind-the-scenes world of Victorian theatre, where the line between reality and performance was often blurred.
