EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense moment of conflict between good and evil in Hall Caine's classic play, "The Christian." The scene is set at the Theatre Royal in Coatbridge on 1st October 1909, where Wentworth Crokes' company was touring from the Lyceum Theatre in London with a new version of the production. The image is taken from backstage, offering a glimpse into the dramatic world that unfolds onstage. At the center of the image stands Reverend Quayle, portrayed by an intensely focused actor, clad in his priestly robes and holding a crucifix. His face is etched with the weight of his convictions, as he stands resolute against the tempestuous storm of evil represented by the menacing figure of John Storm, lurking in the background. The contrast between the lacey, flowing robes of the reverend and the rough, rugged attire of the storm is a visual representation of the clash between the sacred and the profane. The women in the scene add to the melodrama, their dresses rustling in the wind, their faces reflecting a range of emotions from fear to curiosity. The ornate musical comedy revival in the background serves as a stark contrast to the raw, emotional intensity of the scene unfolding in the foreground. The tension in the photograph is palpable, as the battle between good and evil reaches its crescendo, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats. This photograph is a testament to the power of theatre to transport us to another world, to make us feel the weight of moral dilemmas and the thrill of conflict. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of Hall Caine's "The Christian," and the timeless nature of the struggle between good and evil that continues to resonate with audiences today.
