EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Princes Theatre, located on Shaftesbury Avenue in London's West End, during the 1940s. The theatre, now known as the Shaftesbury Theatre, was originally named the Princes Theatre and was a prominent venue in the area's vibrant theatrical scene. In this image, the theatre is seen in all its glory, with its impressive Art Deco architecture standing out against the grey London sky. The marquee of the theatre proudly announces the performance of "The Du Barry" starring the talented Irene Manning. Dressed in elegant evening wear, Manning is seen posing gracefully in front of the theatre entrance, adding a touch of glamour and sophistication to the scene. The photograph captures the excitement and allure of the theatre world in the post-war era, with audiences eager to escape the realities of everyday life and be transported to another world through the magic of live performance. The Princes Theatre, which opened in 1937, was designed by the renowned architects W.G.R. Sprague and A.W. Simpson. Its distinctive Art Deco style, with its sweeping curves and intricate detailing, was a popular choice for theatres and cinemas of the time. The theatre underwent a major renovation in 1963, and was renamed the Shaftesbury Theatre. Today, it continues to be a beloved venue in London's West End, hosting a diverse range of productions and entertaining audiences from around the world.
