The Walls of Jericho: A Satirical Comedy at the Garrick Theatre, London, 1904 This postcard image transports us back to the early 1900s and the vibrant world of Edwardian theatre. The scene is set at the esteemed Garrick Theatre in London, where the satirical comedy "The Walls of Jericho" by Alfred Sutro was making waves. The play, which ran from February to May 1904, starred the renowned actor Arthur Bourchier in the lead role of Samson. The image showcases the intricately designed stage set, featuring a series of grand pillars reminiscent of a biblical temple. The title of the play, "The Walls of Jericho," is prominently displayed, alluding to the biblical story of the destruction of the city of Jericho. However, this production was not an adaptation of the Bible story but rather a satire on the financial panic of the time, specifically the panic that occurred at the Paris Bourse in 1882. The analogy between the biblical story and the financial crisis was a popular theatrical device during this era, allowing audiences to connect with current events through the lens of a familiar biblical narrative. The comedic element added an extra layer of entertainment, making for an engaging and thought-provoking theatrical experience. Arthur Bourchier, known for his versatility and charisma, masterfully portrayed the character of Samson, no doubt leaving audiences in stitches with his comedic timing and impeccable delivery. The Walls of Jericho was a hit, drawing large crowds to the Garrick Theatre and solidifying its place in the annals of Edwardian theatre history. This postcard is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of early 20th-century theatre and the enduring power of satire to entertain and provoke thought.
