Vile Bodies

EDITORS COMMENTS
at the Vaudeville Theatre: A Witty and Satirical Adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Novel (1932) This photograph print offers a glimpse into the world premiere of "Vile Bodies," a stage adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's acclaimed novel, at the prestigious Vaudeville Theatre in London during the 1930s. The image, taken in 1932, showcases the cast and production team in full swing, bringing Waugh's biting satire to life on stage. Evelyn Waugh's "Vile Bodies" is a novel of manners that skewers the frivolous and superficial world of the British upper classes during the interwar period. The stage adaptation, directed by an unidentified director, retained the novel's wit and social commentary, making it a must-see production for London theatre-goers. The cast includes Robert Stewart as Adam Fenwick-Symes, a charming and amoral social climber, and Eileen Peel as Nina Blount, a disillusioned socialite. Stewart, an experienced stage and screen actor, delivers a captivating performance, while Peel's portrayal of Nina's disillusionment and cynicism resonated with audiences. The production boasted impressive staging and set design, with scenes such as the infamous "dance of the dead" sequence receiving particular acclaim. The comedic timing and satirical edge of the actors and actresses brought Waugh's characters to life, making for an unforgettable theatrical experience. This photograph print is a testament to the enduring appeal of Waugh's novel and the power of live theatre to bring literature to life. With its sharp wit, biting satire, and memorable performances, "Vile Bodies" at the Vaudeville Theatre was a must-see production of the 1930s.
