EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the thrilling world of Mameena, the fearless Zulu warrior princess, brought to life on the stage by the renowned Australian actor and producer, Oscar Asche. This promotional postcard for the theatrical production of "Mameena dramatised by Oscar Asche," based on Rider Haggard's novel "Child of Storm," invites us to experience the excitement of this popular pantomime that first graced the stage of the Globe Theatre on September 30, 1914. Amidst the backdrop of the First World War, the theatre provided a much-needed escape for audiences seeking entertainment and adventure. Mameena, with her fierce determination and courage, embodied the spirit of the Zulu warriors, who wielded their shields and spears with unwavering commitment. The image on this postcard showcases Mameena in all her glory, dressed in traditional Zulu attire and holding a shield and spear, ready for battle. The theatrical setting is evident in the ornate backdrop and the dramatic lighting, which adds to the overall sense of excitement and anticipation. Oscar Asche's production of "Mameena" was a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of live theatre. It transported audiences to a world far removed from the realities of the war, offering them a chance to immerse themselves in an unforgettable adventure. This postcard serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of theatre during the early 20th century and the enduring appeal of Rider Haggard's classic novel.
