77 Park Lane: A Theatrical Triumph and a Scathing Satire This print from the archives of Mary Evans Picture Library offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of London's West End theatre scene in the early 20th century. The image showcases a review of the play "77 Park Lane" as it appeared in the esteemed society magazine, The Tatler. The play, which opened in 1934, was a collaborative effort by a talented team of artists and writers, including Robert Holmes, Boris Renevsky, Hugh Wakefield, and Marion Lorne. The review, illustrated with whimsical caricatures by Nerman, captures the essence of the production and the personalities of those involved. Robert Holmes, the play's author, is depicted with a quill pen in hand, deep in thought, perhaps pondering the next line of dialogue. Boris Renevsky, the play's director, is shown with a magnifying glass, examining every detail to ensure a flawless production. Hugh Wakefield and Marion Lorne, who starred in the play as husband and wife, are depicted in a more lighthearted moment. Wakefield, with a mischievous grin, seems to be enjoying a joke at his wife's expense, while Lorne, with a playful pout, appears to be feigning annoyance. "77 Park Lane" was a critical and commercial success, running for over 500 performances and earning rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. The production's blend of wit, satire, and social commentary resonated with the times, offering a reflection of the social and political climate of the 1930s. This print serves as a fascinating reminder of the rich history of London's West End theatre scene and the talented individuals who brought "77 Park Lane" to life. The caricatures by Nerman offer a charming and humorous glimpse into the personalities of the cast and crew, while the review in The Tatler highlights the production's success and critical acclaim.
