EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this enchanting scene from the beloved English pantomime, The 40 Thieves! This photograph, taken from The Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the magical world of theatre and entertainment that was once a staple of community life in the United Kingdom. The 40 Thieves, an exotic and oriental-themed pantomime, was a popular production during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Inspired by the classic Arabian Nights tales, the pantomime brought to life the adventures of the forty thieves, led by the cunning Abanazar, as they sought to protect their hidden treasure from the brave and resourceful Ali Baba. In this photograph, we see a group of actors, dressed in Middle Eastern attire, gathered around a table laden with jars and other treasures. The rich colors and intricate details of their costumes, along with the warm glow of the stage lights, create a sense of wonder and excitement that is sure to captivate audiences of all ages. The 40 Thieves pantomime was a production that brought people together, providing an escape from the everyday and offering a chance to experience the exotic and the fantastical. This photograph serves as a reminder of the power of theatre to transport us to other worlds and to create memories that last a lifetime.
