EDITORS COMMENTS
A Great Stage and a Great Curtain: In Front and Behind the Scenes at the Coliseum, London The Coliseum Theatre in London, a grand establishment of the early 20th century, was renowned for its innovative stage design and impressive performances. This photographic spread from the Illustrated London News in 1914 offers a unique glimpse into both the public spectacle and the private workings of this iconic venue. At the centre of the top image, a diagrammatic view of the Coliseum's revolving stage reveals the intricate machinery hidden beneath the surface. This ingenious design allowed for seamless scene changes and added to the overall theatrical experience. Below, Byam Shaw's design for a curtain graces the bottom centre of the spread. The curtain, adorned with portraits of notable actors, actresses, comedians, musicians, and playwrights of the past and present, served as a testament to the rich history of the theatre. Four photographs in the spread provide a glimpse into the technical and electrical equipment backstage. These images reveal the inner workings of the theatre, with machinery such as the bron sphere, switchboard, dimmer room, resistance motors, wheel switches, and double page spreads. The Coliseum's stage was not only a place of public entertainment but also a complex and intricate machine that required a team of skilled technicians to bring each performance to life. This photographic spread offers a rare look at the intersection of art and technology, providing a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of one of London's most iconic theatres.
