Clarke Fred Panto Pantomime Parson Prodigal Promotional Theatrical
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and experience the enchantment of 'The Prodigal Parson,' a beloved pantomime production from the Edwardian era, as depicted in this promotional postcard. Produced by Fred Cunninghame and C.A. Clarke, this popular theatrical entertainment first graced the stages of Lincoln on May 16, 1898, and later at the Standard Theatre on June 19, 1899. The Prodigal Parson was a pantomime, a type of musical comedy stage production designed for family entertainment, filled with music, dance, slapstick comedy, and elaborate costumes. The story follows the journey of a prodigal parson who, after squandering his fortune, returns home to seek forgiveness from his father. This postcard, circa 1899, offers a glimpse into the magical world of pantomime and the excitement it brought to audiences during the late 1800s. The image captures the essence of the production with its colorful cast of characters, including the mischievous Pantaloon, the beautiful Princess, and the dapper Harlequin, all dressed in their finest costumes. The Prodigal Parson was a testament to the power of popular entertainment and the enduring appeal of the pantomime tradition. This postcard serves as a reminder of the joy and wonder that the theatre brought to people during the Edwardian era and beyond. So, take a step back in time and let the magic of 'The Prodigal Parson' transport you to a world of enchantment and delight.
