Between Two Women
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating theatrical production by Frederick Melville, first staged at the Terriss Theatre in Rotherhithe, London, in October 1904. This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment from the play, as the Reverend Carton (played by Melville himself) stands amidst a group of wealthy and sophisticated society women. The setting is a drawing room, filled with the opulence and elegance of the Edwardian era. The Reverend Carton, a man of the cloth, is surrounded by the allure and intrigue of the women, their eyes fixed on him with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation. Dressed in his clerical attire, the Reverend Carton maintains a calm and resolute demeanor, seemingly unfazed by the attention he is receiving. The women, adorned in their finest gowns and jewels, are a stark contrast to the Reverend Carton's modest attire. Their expressions suggest a complex web of emotions, from admiration and desire to skepticism and suspicion. The tension between the Reverend Carton and the women is palpable, adding to the intrigue and suspense of the scene. "Between Two Women" was a groundbreaking production for its time, pushing the boundaries of social norms and challenging the conventions of Edwardian society. The play's exploration of the complexities of human relationships, particularly those between men and women, resonated with audiences and solidified Frederick Melville's reputation as a pioneering playwright. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of this intriguing production, transporting us back to the Terriss Theatre in Rotherhithe over a century ago.
