EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this enchanting image from the Theatre Royal in Glasgow during the early 1900s. The scene captures the magic and excitement of a traditional British pantomime, with Annie Purcell taking center stage as the Principal Boy in this production. Dressed in a ragged, yet elegant costume, complete with a cross-dressing element, Purcell exudes charm and charisma with her expressive gesture and engaging smile. Pantomime, a unique blend of music, dance, comedy, and drama, was a popular form of entertainment in the UK during the Edwardian era. The Theatre Royal in Glasgow was one of the most renowned venues for pantomime productions, attracting large audiences from all walks of life. In this photograph, taken circa 1905, we see Purcell in the midst of a lively performance, surrounded by a sea of curious and delighted faces. The stage is adorned with vibrant colors and intricate details, reflecting the fantastical nature of the pantomime world. The overall atmosphere is one of joy, wonder, and merriment, making this image a true testament to the enduring appeal of pantomime as a cherished theatrical tradition. Annie Purcell's captivating presence and commitment to her role as the Principal Boy have left an indelible mark on the history of pantomime in Glasgow and beyond. This evocative photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the enchantment of the theatre came alive through the magic of pantomime.
