EDITORS COMMENTS
A Midsummer Diversion in an Oxford Garden: The Oxford University Drama Society's (OUDS) Production of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" at Worcester College, 1949. This enchanting photograph captures a moment from the OUDS production of "The Tempest," which took place in the picturesque grounds of Worcester College in 1949. The play, produced and directed by the esteemed Mr. Nevill Coghill, Dean of Exeter College, showcased the ingenious use of the college lake as a theatrical device. The setting was further enhanced by the brilliant weather, which added to the idyllic atmosphere of the outdoor production. The image features a group of actors, dressed in period costumes, gathered around a boat on the lake's edge. The boat, adorned with lanterns and other props, appears to be the setting for a pivotal scene from the play. The actors, with their focused expressions and serious demeanor, exude a sense of professionalism and dedication to their craft. The OUDS production of "The Tempest" was an amateur dramatics endeavor, yet the quality of the performance was not lacking. The students involved in the production were committed to bringing Shakespeare's classic work to life, and the outdoor setting provided a unique and memorable experience for both the performers and the audience. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of theatre and drama at the University of Oxford in the 1940s. The image, with its timeless quality and evocative setting, transports us back to a bygone era and invites us to appreciate the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's works and the magic of live theatre.
