EDITORS COMMENTS
by H C M Hardinge and Matheson Lang: A Theatrical Extravaganza of the Roaring Twenties This evocative photograph captures the magic and allure of the 1919 production of "Carnival" by H C M Hardinge and Matheson Lang, based on the Italian play "Sirocco" by Pordes-Milo. Set against the enchanting backdrop of Venice during carnival time, this theatrical masterpiece was first performed in Birmingham in May 1919, followed by a successful run at the New Theatre in London in February 1920. Matheson Lang, a renowned English actor, not only starred in the production but also collaborated with Hardinge in bringing this story to life. The photograph showcases the elaborate costumes and the mesmerizing stage design, transporting us back to a time when the world was enchanted by the thrill of live entertainment. The 1910s and 1920s were a golden age for the British theatre scene, and "Carnival" was a testament to the creativity and artistry of the era. The play's success is a reminder of the power of live performance to captivate and transport audiences, leaving a lasting impression on their hearts and minds. This photograph is a precious snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of theatre during the Roaring Twenties. It is a reminder of the magic that can be created when talented artists come together to bring a story to life, and the enduring power of live performance to captivate and inspire.
