EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and witness the scandalous antics of The Rotters, the most talked-about theatrical production of the 1910s! This promotional postcard for H.F. Maltby's play, which first premiered at the Winter Gardens in New Brighton on July 10, 1916, and later at the Garrick Theatre on July 29, 1916, promises a satirical and entertaining look into the lives of a respectable family whose secrets are anything but respectable. The parents, who pride themselves on their upstanding reputation, are in for a shock when they discover that their eldest daughter has been expelled from school for flirting with a choirboy, and their youngest daughter has taken things a step further by making love to the family chauffeur. The family's troubles don't end there, as their seemingly respectable father is revealed to be a bigamist. Set against the backdrop of World War I, The Rotters offered audiences a much-needed escape from the harsh realities of the time. The play, which toured to the Pavilion in Torquay on August 16, 1917, was a huge success, drawing crowds with its scandalous and satirical take on the hypocrisies of respectable society. This postcard, dating from 1917, provides a glimpse into the popular entertainment of the era and the enduring appeal of a good scandal. The image of the chauffeur and the younger daughter, caught in a moment of passion, adds to the play's allure, promising a night of mischief and merriment that was sure to leave audiences talking long after the curtain came down.
