EDITORS COMMENTS
When the sea is sick-making,
reads the subtitle of Evelyn Waugh's satirical novel "Vile Bodies," published in 1930, a witty commentary on the moral decay and superficiality of the post-World War I British elite. This image from the production of Waugh's play adaptation at the Vaudeville Theatre in London, dating back to 1932, offers a glimpse into the whimsical and irreverent world of the author's characters. In the foreground, Mrs. Melrose Ape, the woman evangelist, dons a striking red dress and a determined expression as she addresses her chorus of angels. The angels, clad in white robes and halos, appear to be making merry in the bar of the cross-channel packet, their faces contorted in laughter. The scene is set against a backdrop of a nautical interior, complete with portholes and ropes, adding to the playful and absurd atmosphere. Waugh's "Vile Bodies" is a biting critique of the morals, values, and social norms of the time, and this production at the Vaudeville Theatre brings the novel's satire to life on the stage. With its witty dialogue, colorful characters, and biting commentary, the play was a must-see for those seeking a respite from the mundane and a chance to poke fun at the follies of society. This photograph offers a tantalizing glimpse into the world of "Vile Bodies" and the production that brought Waugh's words to life on the London stage in the 1930s. The image captures the essence of the play's satirical tone and the irreverent spirit of its characters, making it a fascinating piece of theatre history.
