EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image captures a delightful scene from the 1874 production of Red Riding Hood and her sister Little Bo-Peep at the Covent Garden Theatre. The Covent Garden Theatre, located in the heart of London, was renowned for its annual pantomime performances, which provided an escape from the harsh realities of everyday life. Red Riding Hood, played by a young actress, is seen in the foreground, her vibrant red hooded cape contrasting against the lush green background. She is engaged in a playful conversation with her sister, Little Bo-Peep, who is dressed in a flowing blue gown adorned with white flowers. The sisters' expressions are full of mischief and joy, reflecting the light-hearted and whimsical nature of pantomime. Pantomime, a traditional British form of musical comedy and dance, was a popular form of entertainment during the Victorian era. Red Riding Hood and Little Bo-Peep were often featured together in pantomimes, with their storylines intertwining in various ways. The sisters' appearance in this scene suggests that they are about to embark on an adventure, perhaps to help each other overcome obstacles or outwit the Big Bad Wolf. The production's set design is simple yet effective, with a forest backdrop and a few trees adding to the enchanting atmosphere. The use of natural light filtering through the trees creates a warm and inviting ambiance, further enhancing the magical quality of the scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the theatre was a source of joy and wonder for people of all ages. The image captures the essence of pantomime - a world of magic, laughter, and adventure, where the impossible becomes possible and dreams come true.
