EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Fay Compton in the title role of J.M. Barrie's enchanting play, "Mary Rose," during its production at the prestigious Haymarket Theatre in London, 1920. Fay Compton, a renowned British actress of the time, brilliantly brought the young and innocent Mary Rose to life on stage. The play, written by J.M. Barrie, the author of "Peter Pan," tells the story of a young woman who drowns in the Solent and is brought back to life by the prayers of her mother. The production at the Haymarket Theatre marked a significant moment in Compton's career, as she received critical acclaim for her portrayal of the ethereal and otherworldly character. The 1920s, a decade known for its artistic and cultural innovations, provided the perfect backdrop for this magical and thought-provoking play. The photograph captures Compton's youthful beauty and the delicate expression on her face, as she gazes off into the distance, lost in the world of her character. The muted colors and soft focus of the image add to the dreamlike quality of the scene, transporting us back to the magical world of Mary Rose and the enchanting productions of the Haymarket Theatre in 1920s London.
