EDITORS COMMENTS
by J.B. Priestley and Edward Knoblock: A Theatrical Journey into the Heart of English Community This evocative promotional flyer for "The Good Companions," a theatrical production based on J.B. Priestley's beloved 1929 novel of the same name, offers a captivating glimpse into the world of Charles Buchel's illustration. The image, created by the renowned artist in 1931 for the four-page flyer, invites us to step into the vibrant and intriguing world of Priestley's characters. The scene is set at His Majesty's Theatre, where the first production of "The Good Companions" was staged on the 14th of June, 1931. Buchel's artwork masterfully encapsulates the essence of the novel, which revolves around the lives of a motley crew of traveling players and their adventures as they navigate the complexities of human relationships and the unpredictable twists of fate. The central figure in the illustration is Edie O'Hara, the charismatic and enigmatic leader of the company, who captivates the attention of all those around her. Her expressive eyes and confident posture radiate an aura of mystery and allure, while the diverse group of actors and musicians in the background add depth and intrigue to the scene. Buchel's use of warm, earthy tones and the intricate details of the costumes and set design evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing for a bygone era. The overall effect is an enticing invitation to delve deeper into the world of "The Good Companions," a world filled with humor, heart, and the indomitable human spirit. This promotional flyer serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Priestley's novel and the power of Buchel's artistry to bring its characters to life on the stage. It is a reminder of the transformative power of storytelling and the enduring connection between literature, art, and the human experience.
