EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting promotional postcard for Wilson Barrett's production of "In The Middle of June," first performed at the Theatre Royal Middlesbrough in 1903. The title of the play is derived from the poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, "Our loves more in tune with the Middle of June/Than when daffodils blow in the spring-time." This image transports us to the world of strolling players in seventeenth century England. The decorative border, filled with figures in Elizabethan attire, frames the scene of a lively theatrical performance. The stage comes alive with the excitement of a pantomime or "panto," a popular form of entertainment in the 1900s. The play, produced by the renowned actor-manager Wilson Barrett, was a hit among audiences. The Theatre Royal Middlesbrough, which opened in 1897, was known for its high-quality productions and innovative staging. This postcard serves as a reminder of the rich theatrical history of the venue and the enduring appeal of live performance. The title of the play, "In The Middle of June," adds an extra layer of meaning to the image. The month of June, with its long days and warm weather, has long been associated with romance and new beginnings. The connection to Tennyson's poem underscores the theme of love and the power of the arts to transport us to another time and place. Join Wilson Barrett and his company as they bring the magic of the stage to life in "In The Middle of June." This postcard is a treasure trove of history, art, and the enduring power of live performance. Whether you're a theatre enthusiast or simply appreciate the beauty of a well-designed postcard, this image is sure to captivate and inspire.
