EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ron Burton in 1972, we see the indomitable Lorna Scott, a dedicated stage manager for a South London amateur dramatic society. With determination etched on her face, she navigates the bustling underground railway system with an unexpected companion - a life-size display dummy. As Lorna sits amongst fellow commuters on that fateful day in April, she effortlessly blends into the daily rhythm of city life. Passengers steal curious glances at her unusual cargo while others can't help but crack a smile at the absurdity of it all. The juxtaposition of Lorna's serious demeanor and the whimsical mannequin creates an air of humor that is palpable even through time. This snapshot from the 1970s encapsulates not only the era's fashion and transport systems but also highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of individuals pursuing their passions outside traditional avenues. Lorna's commitment to her craft shines through as she braves public transportation to collect this essential prop for an upcoming production. Ron Burton's photograph immortalizes a moment where ordinary people become unwitting participants in someone else's extraordinary journey. It serves as a reminder that amidst our own daily routines, there are countless stories unfolding around us waiting to be discovered - if only we take a moment to observe and appreciate them.
