EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting scene from the 1913 production of 'The Babes in the Wood' at the prestigious Lyceum Theatre in London. The holiday classic pantomime, a beloved Christmas tradition in the UK, tells the timeless tale of two innocent children, Hansel and Gretel, who are lost in the forest and encounter various challenges and characters along the way. In this image, we see a man in a vibrant orange and yellow costume, dressed as one of the forest characters, holding the hands of two children. The children, dressed in simple white outfits, gaze up at him with wide eyes, filled with wonder and excitement. Behind them, a lush forest of trees stretches out, adorned with twinkling fairy lights and festive decorations, creating a magical atmosphere. The Lyceum Theatre, a historic venue known for its grand productions, was the perfect setting for this beloved pantomime. The cast, including this jovial forest character, brought the story to life with their captivating performances and larger-than-life personalities. The production, filled with music, dance, and comedy, was a delight for audiences of all ages, making it a cherished memory for generations. As the snow fell outside and the Christmas tree twinkled in the corner, Londoners gathered at the Lyceum Theatre to escape the winter chill and immerse themselves in the magical world of 'The Babes in the Wood.' This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enchantment and joy that pantomime brought to the city during the festive season in the early 1910s.
