EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating theatrical production by W G Wills, first brought to life at the Avenue Theatre in Sunderland on May 1, 1891, and later at the Olympic Theatre on September 10, 1891. This historical play, set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, was a popular sensation in its time and continued to enthrall audiences decades later. In this evocative image, we witness a pivotal moment from the production as it was staged at the Princes Theatre in Bristol on June 20, 1921, by W W Kelly's London Company. The scene depicts the tumultuous relationship between Napoleon Bonaparte, portrayed by Alexander Marsh, and his wife Josephine, played by Agnes Verity. The couple lies in a room adorned with opulent furnishings, including a chaise longue and an ornate fireplace. The tension between them is palpable, as Napoleon, clad in a military uniform and brandishing a sword, confronts Josephine. The scene unfolds with a sense of drama and intrigue, as the couple's marriage is on the brink of dissolution. The sword, a symbol of power and conflict, adds to the intensity of the moment, hinting at the imminent divorce that will shake the French monarchy and the world. The production, with its stunning costumes, dramatic scenes, and masterful acting, transported audiences to the heart of the Napoleonic era, offering an unforgettable theatrical experience. This image serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of "A Royal Divorce: A Story of Waterloo," which captivated audiences in the early 19th century and continued to do so well into the 1920s. The production, with its rich historical context and compelling narrative, remains a significant part of theatrical history, showcasing the power of storytelling and the enduring allure of the past.
