EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and friendly competition during an actresses versus authors cricket match held in Regent's Park in 1939. The image features two prominent figures of the British cultural scene, J.B. Priestley and Joyce Barbour, serving as team captains. J.B. Priestley (1894-1984), a renowned playwright, novelist, and broadcaster, was a prolific writer whose works often explored social and political issues. His plays, such as "An Inspector Calls" and "Time and the Conways," remain classics of the English stage. Joyce Barbour (1901-1977), an accomplished actress, graces the other side of the image. Her career spanned over four decades, with notable appearances in films, stage productions, and radio broadcasts. Her versatility as an actress was showcased in various roles, from comedic to dramatic. The photograph is a testament to the charitable and entertaining nature of amateur cricket matches during the 1930s.
