EDITORS COMMENTS
The Moon and Sixpence," a captivating production of Somerset Maugham's play, graced the stage of the New Theatre in 1925. In this evocative photograph, Henry Ainley, as the enigmatic Charles Strickland, and Eileen Sharp, portraying the native girl Ata, are depicted amidst a desolate island landscape. The moon casts an ethereal glow over the scene, adding to the sense of isolation and longing. Stranded on the island, Charles, a struggling artist, yearns for inspiration and freedom from the mundane constraints of society. His obsession with art and the exotic allure of the island's native people fuel his creative spirit. Ata, played by the talented Eileen Sharp, represents the allure and mystery of the island and its people that so captivate Charles. The Moon and Sixpence, based on the novel by W. Somerset Maugham, tells the story of Charles Strickland, a man who abandons his wife and family to pursue his artistic dreams. The play, although critically acclaimed, failed to captivate the public and ended its run at the New Theatre prematurely. Despite the play's short-lived success, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the production's haunting beauty. The palm trees, moonlit sky, and the somber expression on Henry Ainley's face all contribute to the sense of history and melancholy that pervades the scene. The image of Charles and Ata, with the moon and sixpence in the foreground, is a testament to the power of art and the human spirit to transcend the ordinary and find inspiration in the most unexpected places. This photograph, taken during the production's run at the New Theatre in 1925, is a rare glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of Maugham's classic tale.
