EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the world of intrigue and power with this promotional postcard for the 1925 production of Rafael Sabatini's "The Tyrant," featuring the charismatic Matheson Lang as Cesare Borgia. The image, created by renowned artist Charles Buchel, transports us back to the 1920s when theatrical entertainment reached new heights. The Tyrant, first produced at the Theatre Royal in Birmingham on March 9, 1925, and later at the New Theatre, showcases the story of Cesare Borgia, a ruthless and cunning political figure from the 15th century. Sabatini's popular play, based on historical facts, was brought to life on the stage with the help of elaborate costumes, stunning sets, and the mesmerizing performance of Matheson Lang. Charles Buchel's artwork on this postcard brilliantly captures the essence of the production, with Lang's intense gaze and regal attire embodying the power and allure of Cesare Borgia. The Tyrant was a pantomime, a theatrical form that combined elements of comedy, music, dance, and drama, making it a popular form of entertainment for audiences in the 1920s. As we admire this vintage postcard, we are transported back in time, allowing us to relive the excitement and allure of a bygone era in the world of theatre. The Tyrant's enduring legacy continues to captivate us with its tale of power, ambition, and the complexities of human nature.
