EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the historic Queens Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue in London during the year 1908. The production gracing the stage was none other than The Dairymaids, a play that ran for an impressive 76 performances between May 5 and July 17, 1908. At the heart of this image are two central figures: Phyllis Dare and Dan Rolyat. Phyllis Dare, a renowned English actress, can be seen in the foreground, her expressive face captivating the audience's attention. Dan Rolyat, a talented gymnast, is shown in the background, poised and ready for his gymnastic performance. The setting of the photograph is a parallel universe to the one we know today. The stage is adorned with simple, yet elegant, props and set pieces, a stark contrast to the elaborate productions we are accustomed to. The gymnastic equipment, including rings and bars, are remnants of a time when physical fitness and athleticism were celebrated on stage. The Dairymaids was a groundbreaking production in many ways. It was one of the first plays to incorporate gymnastics into its performances, showcasing the physical prowess and agility of its actors. Dan Rolyat's gymnastic displays were a highlight of the production, adding an element of excitement and novelty to the theatrical experience. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of theatre and the evolution of performance art. It serves as a reminder of the past, while also highlighting the enduring appeal of live theatre and the human spirit that drives it forward.
