EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and prepare yourselves for an enchanting journey into the heart of the enchanted forest, as we present to you Augustus Harriss's production of 'Babes in the Wood' at the illustrious Drury Lane Theatre in London, during the late 19th century. In this promotional postcard, we find ourselves in the midst of a magical pantomime scene, where the innocent and endearing 'Babes in the Wood' are depicted in their most vulnerable moment. The young girl, with her tear-streaked face and pleading expression, clings to her brother, both lost and crying in the depths of the mysterious woodland. The pantomime, a cherished Christmas tradition in Victorian England, brought to life beloved characters and stories, often with a comedic and musical twist. Augustus Harriss, a renowned pantomime producer of the time, masterfully transformed Drury Lane Theatre into a fantastical world, filled with laughter, wonder, and a touch of mischief. The children's roles in 'Babes in the Wood' were always a crowd favorite, as they embodied the essence of innocence and purity. The story of the two babes, lost in the forest and protected by the spirits of the trees, resonated deeply with audiences, making this production a must-see for families during the holiday season. So, come one, come all, and join us in this delightful adventure, as we lose ourselves in the magical world of Augustus Harriss's 'Babes in the Wood' at the iconic Drury Lane Theatre in London.
