EDITORS COMMENTS
Welcome Stranger" by Aaron Hoffmann: A Theatrical Journey into the 1920s Step back in time with this promotional flyer for "Welcome Stranger," a theatrical production first staged at the prestigious Lyric Theatre in England on October 19, 1921. The image showcases actor Harry Green in the lead role, warmly welcomed by the artist Claude Bendall's evocative depiction of a traveller in a wintry landscape. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was an era of cultural and social transformation. This period brought about a surge in popular entertainment, with the theatre playing a significant role in shaping the zeitgeist. "Welcome Stranger" was no exception, as it captured the public's imagination and became a beloved production of the time. The image of Harry Green, bundled up against the cold, snowy weather, exudes a sense of adventure and anticipation. The traveller's determined expression and the welcoming gesture of the locals in the background create a compelling narrative that speaks to the human need for connection and belonging. Aaron Hoffmann's artwork, "Welcome Stranger," beautifully encapsulates the spirit of the era, blending the allure of travel and the warmth of human connection. This promotional flyer serves as a testament to the power of theatre to transport us to another time and place, inviting us to embark on a journey of discovery and enjoyment. Join Harry Green and the people of the Lyric Theatre as they welcome the stranger into their world, and let the magic of the 1920s enchant you.
