EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph presents a playbill for a production of Oscar Wilde's classic comedy, "The Importance of Being Earnest," performed by the Entertainments National Service Association (ENSA) for Her Majesty's Forces (H.M.Forces) overseas during World War II. The play was produced by N.A.A.F.I (Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes) and staged at the Globe Theatre in Alexandria, Egypt, around 1941. During the war, ENSA provided entertainment to British troops, aiming to boost morale and offer a momentary escape from the harsh realities of the battlefield. The company, affectionately known as "Every Night Something Awful," was famous for its ability to bring laughter and joy to the soldiers, no matter where they were stationed. In this particular production, Eric Berry served as the producer, overseeing the staging of this timeless comedy by the renowned Irish playwright, Oscar Wilde. "The Importance of Being Earnest" is a witty and sophisticated comedy that follows two bachelors, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, as they navigate the complexities of love and identity. The play's humor and satire resonated with the soldiers, providing them with an enjoyable and memorable experience. The cast list on the playbill showcases the names of the actors who brought the characters to life on the stage of the Globe Theatre in Alexandria. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the power of art and entertainment to bring joy and connection, even in the most challenging of times. This image is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the wartime experiences of British soldiers and the role that ENSA played in their lives. It is a testament to the enduring power of theatre and the human spirit to find laughter and connection, even in the midst of adversity.
