EDITORS COMMENTS
In the dimly lit and ornate theatre bar, a group of jobbing actors gather around the worn wooden table, deep in conversation. The air is thick with the scent of champagne and the faint hum of laughter from the bustling crowd outside. Each man, dressed in tattered costumes and weary expressions, leans in intently as they discuss their fortunes, both successful and not. Their hushed voices carry the weight of their hopes and fears, each privately wishing their luck will turn out better than their companion's. The scene is reminiscent of an 1892 caricature titled "In Marble Halls," which satirizes the theatrical community and their superstitions. The lyrics of the popular aria "I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls" or "The Gipsy Girls Dream" from The Bohemian Girl opera by Michael William Balfe and Alfred Bunn are said to bring bad luck if whistled or sung in a theatre. Arline, the character who sings the aria in the opera, longs for the luxuries of wealth and status, but finds herself in a similar situation to these jobbing actors. The history of this superstition adds to the mystique of the theatre world, where tradition and superstition intertwine with reality. The actors in this bar, a part of the theatrical community, continue their discussion, their hopes for a brighter future buoyed by the camaraderie and shared experiences of their craft.
