EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the exterior of the Fortune Theatre on Russell Street in Covent Garden, London, during the 1940s. The theatre, a historic landmark in the heart of the city, is seen here in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the busy street. A van, parked in front of the theatre, adds to the scene, as does a truck turning the corner from the adjacent street. The marquee of the theatre proudly displays the title of the play being performed at the time - "Fly Away Peter." The Fortune Theatre, established in 1632, is one of the oldest theatres in London, and has a rich history of hosting various productions over the centuries. In the 1940s, it continued to be a vibrant cultural hub, attracting audiences with its diverse range of shows. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the post-war era. The period detail is evident in the clothing of the people on the street, the style of the vehicles, and the architecture of the buildings. The Fortune Theatre, with its classic facade and elegant signage, stands out as a beacon of artistic expression amidst the urban landscape. The image also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of live theatre to bring people together and provide a moment of escape from the daily grind. The theatre has since undergone renovations and continues to be a beloved destination for theatre-goers in London and beyond.
