EDITORS COMMENTS
by Rutland Boughton: A Musical Drama Reviving the Spirit of the Middle Ages at the Regent Theatre, London, 1923 Step back in time to the enchanting world of Rutland Boughton's "Bethlehem," a musical drama that first graced the stage of the Regent Theatre in Kings Cross, London, in December 1923. This groundbreaking production, an adaptation of the Coventry mystery play of the nativity, brought the biblical story to life through music and interspersed Christmas carols, creating an unforgettable theatrical experience. The composer, Rutland Boughton, himself conducted the performance, leading a cast of men dressed in medieval costumes, transporting the audience to a different era. The Regent Theatre, adorned with festive decorations, became a magical setting for this unique production. "Bethlehem" was a departure from the traditional theatrical offerings of the 1920s, offering a glimpse into the past and the spiritual essence of the Christmas story. The drama, set in the town of Bethlehem, told the tale of the birth of Jesus Christ, intertwining music and storytelling to create a memorable and moving experience for all. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a bygone era, and the magic of a production that brought the biblical story to life on the London stage. With the composer at the helm and a cast of men in medieval costumes, "Bethlehem" was a reminder of the power of music and theatre to transport us to another world and reconnect us with the stories and traditions of the past. Join us on a journey back to the 1920s and the enchanting world of Rutland Boughton's "Bethlehem," a musical drama that continues to captivate and inspire audiences to this day.
