Lots Wife" at Pavilion Theatre, Bournemouth: A Modern Comedy Revival with Nora Swinburne and J.H. Roberts This photograph showcases a scene from the modern comedy "Lots Wife" by Peter Blackmore, which was staged at the Pavilion Theatre in Bournemouth during the late 1930s. The production featured the talented British actors Nora Swinburne and J.H. Roberts, who had previously graced the stage of the Savoy Theatre in London with their performances. The image portrays an intense moment in the play, as Lots Wife, played by Nora Swinburne, expresses her anguish and despair. The expression on her face conveys a deep sense of sorrow and regret, while her husband, Lot, portrayed by J.H. Roberts, looks on with a mixture of concern and confusion. The backdrop of the empty, dimly lit stage adds to the dramatic atmosphere, creating a sense of isolation and introspection. "Lots Wife" is a retelling of the biblical story of Lot's wife, who was turned into a pillar of salt for looking back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. However, Peter Blackmore's adaptation brought a fresh, modern perspective to the classic tale, making it a popular and entertaining production for audiences in the 1930s. The photograph is a testament to the skill and artistry of the actors and the production team, as well as the enduring appeal of live theatre. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the magic of the stage could captivate and move audiences in ways that continue to resonate today. This photograph is part of The Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library and is a valuable addition to any collection of theatre history or English and UK entertainment history. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and delight us, and a testament to the enduring power of live theatre.
