EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative theatre programme from 1909 showcases the production of "The Flag Lieutenant" at the Theatre Royal in Dublin. The play, written by Major W.P. Drury and Leo Trevor, was brought to life by the renowned English actor-manager Cyril Maude and his London company. The production marked an exciting cultural exchange between Ireland and England during the Edwardian era. The programme's cover features a striking image of a great navy ship at sea, with sailors hoisting flags and one sailor taking a break to smoke a pipe. The nautical theme is a fitting representation of the play's narrative, which revolves around the lives of sailors and their daily routines on board a ship. The Flag Lieutenant was a popular play in its time, and its staging in Dublin was a significant event in the city's theatrical calendar. The Theatre Royal, a historic venue, provided an ideal setting for the production, which promised to deliver an entertaining and engaging performance for the audiences. The programme includes a list of the cast members, production team, and scene descriptions, giving insight into the intricacies of the play's staging. The collaboration between Major Drury and Leo Trevor, two talented playwrights, and Cyril Maude, a distinguished actor and director, ensured that The Flag Lieutenant was a theatrical success. This programme is a valuable historical artefact, offering a glimpse into the world of theatre during the early 1900s and the rich cultural exchange between Ireland and England during this period. Its nautical theme and striking design make it a captivating piece of theatre memorabilia, perfect for any collection focused on the history of theatre, the Edwardian era, or maritime history.
