Back Home in Tennessee

EDITORS COMMENTS
by Mrs F G Kimberley is a poignant and evocative photograph capturing a scene from the popular World War I-era play of the same name. Produced at the Junction Theatre in Manchester in November 1916, and later staged at the Elephant & Castle Theatre in London in July 1917, the production then toured to the Theatre Royal in Leicester in October of the same year. The image portrays an emotional reunion between a grey-haired mother, dressed in black, and her soldier son in khaki uniform, returning home from the battlefields of the Great War. The soldier, with a weary yet hopeful expression, gazes at his mother with a mixture of relief and love, as she reaches out to him, her face filled with joy and concern. The setting is a simple garden, adorned with roses and other flowers, adding to the idyllic and heartwarming scene. The play, which was popular during wartime, would have resonated deeply with audiences, as the sight of the mother's vision of her soldier son would have tugged at their heartstrings. The 1910s were a time of great uncertainty and hardship, with the war raging on in Europe and the world watching anxiously. The production provided a much-needed escape, offering a moment of hope and comfort amidst the chaos and turmoil. The photograph is a testament to the power of live theatre to transport and move audiences, and serves as a reminder of the enduring human desire for connection and love, even in the most challenging of times. The image is a valuable historical document, capturing a moment in time that speaks to the universal themes of family, home, and the sacrifices made during wartime.
