Aladdin Gaiety Hastings Lamp Orientalism Panto Pantomime Performance Phillips Touring Wishes 1907


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the magic and enchantment of the 1907 production of Aladdin, touring to the Gaiety Theatre in Hastings, Sussex. The Gaiety Theatre, a popular venue for pantomimes and variety shows during the Edwardian era, played host to this George Brydon Phillips Company presentation of the classic Orientalist tale. The image showcases Aladdin, the hero of the story, standing before a magnificent lamp, its golden hue illuminating his determined expression. Surrounded by a swirling cloud of smoke, the stage is set with exotic props, including ornate lanterns and intricately designed carpets, transporting the audience to the mystical world of Agrabah. The George Brydon Phillips Company, renowned for their innovative and high-quality productions, brought the timeless story to life with a cast of talented actors, stunning costumes, and elaborate sets. The pantomime format, with its blend of music, dance, comedy, and spectacle, ensured that audiences of all ages were entertained and captivated. The Edwardian era, with its fascination for all things Orientalist, is reflected in the production's design and execution. The use of Orientalist motifs and the portrayal of Aladdin and his world, though now viewed with a critical eye due to the problematic nature of Orientalism, were common in theatre and popular culture of the time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when live theatre was the primary form of mass entertainment and the magic of Aladdin and his lamp captivated the hearts and imaginations of audiences in Hastings and beyond.
