Weep for Spring
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Charming Snapshot of British Theatrical Stars of the 1930s This photograph captures the enchanting cast of the play "Weep for Spring," which was staged at the New Theatre in Oxford during the golden era of British theatre in 1939. The esteemed actors Stephen Haggard, Athene Seyler, Peggy Ashcroft, and Nicholas Hannen gracefully pose for the camera, their charisma and camaraderie shining through. Stephen Haggard, born in 1911, is seen in the foreground, with a thoughtful expression on his face, holding a pipe in his hand. Athene Seyler, born in 1889, is seated to his right, her eyes sparkling with mischief and her arms crossed over her chest. Peggy Ashcroft, born in 1907, is nestled between Haggard and Seyler, her gaze fixed on the horizon, while Nicholas Hannen, born in 1881, completes the quartet, standing behind Seyler with a gentle smile on his face. The group is set against the picturesque backdrop of the River Thames, with a punting boat in the foreground, adding a touch of whimsy and charm to the scene. The tranquil setting is a stark contrast to the intensity and emotion that would have been brought to life on the New Theatre stage during the performances of "Weep for Spring." This photograph is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, when the arts thrived in the heart of Oxford, and the magic of live theatre brought people together. The timeless allure of the theatre, combined with the captivating personalities of these talented actors, makes this photograph a true treasure of British theatrical history.
