EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of J.M. Barrie's timeless classic, Mary Rose, as depicted in this enchanting promotional postcard from the 1924 production at the Haymarket Theatre. The image captures the moment of pure wonder and dreams coming to life as Mary Rose (played by a young actress with outstretched arms) walks through a window and into the night sky, surrounded by twinkling stars. First performed at the Haymarket Theatre on April 22, 1920, Mary Rose is a popular and enduring play that has captured the hearts of audiences for generations. In the 1924 edition of the script, Barrie writes in the stage directions, "The smallest star shoots down as if it were her star sent for her," adding to the dreamlike atmosphere of the production. This theatrical masterpiece, which blurs the lines between reality and fantasy, was originally written as a pantomime (panto) for adults, but has since been adapted for children's productions. The 1920s and 1924, in particular, were significant years for the play, with numerous productions taking place during this era. As you gaze at this image, let your imagination soar and be transported to a world where dreams come true and the stars are within reach. Mary Rose by J.M. Barrie remains a beloved and popular work of entertainment that continues to inspire and delight audiences of all ages.
