EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this promotional postcard for the comedy play, 'The Tyranny of Tears' by C. Haddon Chambers. First produced at the prestigious Criterion Theatre in London on the 6th of April, 1899, this comedy was a hit with audiences, offering a delightful respite from the daily grind with its delicious humour. The postcard, dated 1900, invites you to a charity performance of 'The Tyranny of Tears' at the Royal Opera House in Leicester. The event aimed to complete the endowment of a cot at Leicester Children's Hospital, a noble cause that added an extra layer of significance to the evening's entertainment. The image on the postcard features an intriguing scene from the play, with actors in the midst of a comedic moment. One character is depicted in a fit of tears, surrounded by others trying to console him. The title of the play, 'The Tyranny of Tears,' is cleverly reflected in the image, as the tears seem to dominate the scene. This postcard is a fascinating glimpse into the theatrical world of the late 1800s and early 1900s. 'The Tyranny of Tears' was a popular comedy of the time, and its pantomimic elements would have added to the overall enjoyment of the production. The postcard serves as a reminder of the power of theatre to bring people together for a good cause and to provide a much-needed escape from reality. Whether you're a history buff, a theatre enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates a good laugh, this postcard is a must-have addition to your collection. It's a window into a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the popular entertainment of the Victorian period.
