Entr'acte 289 - A Moment of Reprieve in a Victorian Theatre Description: This photograph, Entr'acte 289, by Terry Parker, taken from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the Victorian era and the enchanting world of live theatre. The image captures the essence of the intermission, or 'entracte,' a brief pause in the performance for the audience to refresh their drinks, socialize, and prepare for the second act. The photograph is set against the backdrop of a grand, ornate theatre, with its red velvet seats, gilded accents, and intricately painted walls. The stage is bathed in the soft, warm glow of footlights, while the orchestra pit below is filled with musicians, poised to strike up the music for the second act. At the center of the photograph, a man in formal attire, Alfred Bryan, takes a moment to himself. He leans against the balustrade, gazing out at the emptying auditorium, lost in thought. His expression is contemplative, as if reflecting on the first act or anticipating the one to come. The woman in the background, her back to us, is engaged in conversation with another woman, her laughter carrying across the room. The contrast between the hustle and bustle of the crowd and the quiet introspection of Alfred Bryan creates a poignant moment in this photograph. It serves as a reminder of the unique experience that live theatre offers – a chance to escape reality, immerse oneself in a story, and connect with others. Entr'acte 289 is a beautiful snapshot of a bygone era, inviting us to appreciate the magic of theatre and the moments of respite it provides.
