EDITORS COMMENTS
This print advertises the revival of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's classic comedy-opera, "The Duenna," at the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith in 1924. The artwork, created by renowned English artist George Sheringham, showcases the excitement and allure of the production. At the center, a man in 17th-century attire, with a mischievous grin, holds a tiny, wide-skirted figure in a pannier and hoop dress, dressed as a duenna or chaperone. The duenna, with her exaggerated side hoop and wide pannier, is a comic character often portrayed by a drag queen in productions of the time. The flyer promises 'A Regular Feast of Joy; Three Hours of Lovely Music; Three Hours of Wit And Satire.' Sheringham's masterful brushstrokes bring the theatrical scene to life, transporting us back to the popular comedy opera that first premiered at Covent Garden Theatre in 1775. The print is a testament to the enduring appeal of Sheridan's work and the theatrical artistry of the era.
