EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intriguing poster, titled "Saucy Sally" and featuring the Theatre Royal in Cardiff, Wales, invites viewers to an Edwardian-era production of the same name. Directed by Lawrence Brough and designed by the renowned graphic artist John Hassall, this comedic play was originally produced at the Comedy Theatre in London during the early 20th century. The captivating design of the poster showcases a whimsical boat sailing on a serene sea, with a playful and mischievous-looking woman, "Saucy Sally," skillfully navigating the vessel with a rudder. The boat, adorned with the Theatre Royal logo, sails through the waves, leaving a trail of bubbles in its wake. The water shimmers with a golden hue, adding to the dreamlike quality of the image. The poster's color palette is dominated by rich blues and greens, which evoke the feeling of a sunny day at the seaside. The bold, cursive script of the title and the elegant, flowing lines of the design create a sense of excitement and anticipation for the theatrical performance. The Theatre Royal in Cardiff was a popular venue for touring productions during the early 1900s, and this poster is a testament to the theater's reputation for showcasing high-quality entertainment. The collaboration between Lawrence Brough and John Hassall resulted in a visually stunning and memorable advertisement for "Saucy Sally," which would have drawn audiences to the theater with its promise of laughter, adventure, and a touch of the exotic.
