Reviving the Classic - The Way of the World at Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to witness a momentous theatrical event captured in this photo print. In 1924, under the direction of Mr Nigel Playfair, one of London's most esteemed theatre directors, a revival of William Congreve's renowned play "The Way of the World" took place at Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith. This image showcases two exceptional actors who brought life to their respective roles. Mr Robert Loraine flawlessly impersonates Mirabel, capturing his wit and charm with impeccable finesse. Standing beside him is Miss Edith Evans, an extraordinary talent who embodies Millamant's character with grace and sophistication. As Europe was recovering from the ravages of war during this interwar period, theatre served as a refuge for audiences seeking respite and entertainment. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of live performance even amidst challenging times. Preserved through monochrome photography techniques by Central News, this snapshot transports us back to an era when stage productions were highly anticipated events that captivated audiences' hearts and minds. While we cannot mention commercial use due to restrictions on its usage rights, it is important to acknowledge how such historical photographs like these provide invaluable insights into our cultural heritage. They allow us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into bringing stories alive on stage during the twentieth century.
