EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the magic of a bygone era, this print transports us back to December 1984 in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The stage is set for an enchanting school play at Lostwithiel CP School as eager pupils take on the beloved Gilbert and Sullivan classic, 'The Pirates of Penzance, ' delighting their parents with their talent and enthusiasm. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a group of young performers donning sailor costumes adorned with boater hats, instantly evoking images of seafaring adventures. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the meticulously crafted Cornish backdrop that adds a touch of local charm to the authentic ship's wheel prop that lends an air of authenticity to the production. Stealing the spotlight are two dedicated teachers turned actors: Mary Lightfoot and Alex Machin. Their commitment shines through as they embrace their roles wholeheartedly, bringing life to characters that have captivated audiences for generations. As they guide their students through this festive performance, one can only imagine the joy and pride emanating from both teachers and parents alike. Preserved by photographer Jonathan Barker's lens, this cherished moment serves as a testament to the power of community and creativity within education. It reminds us how school plays not only entertain but also nurture confidence and teamwork among young minds. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print invites viewers into a world where imagination takes center stage – where dreams come alive under bright lights and applause echoes through historic halls.
