Mr Wu: A Captivating Theatrical Production at the Grand Theatre, Croydon, Surrey in the 1910s This enchanting postcard image transports us back to the early 1900s and the magical world of live theatre, specifically to a captivating production of the play 'Mr Wu' at the Grand Theatre in Croydon, Surrey. The Grand Theatre, a popular venue for grand productions, played host to this Eastern-themed play written by Harry M. Vernon and Harold Owen. Previously staged at the Strand and Savoy Theatres in London, 'Mr Wu' was a theatrical sensation that drew large crowds. The image showcases the leading man, Mr Wu, dressed in an elaborate Chinese costume, exuding an air of mystery and intrigue. The woman in the background, also dressed in Eastern attire, adds to the exotic allure of the production. The ornate stage setting, complete with intricate props and backdrops, further transports us to a far-off land. 'Mr Wu' was a groundbreaking production for its time, featuring an all-white cast portraying Asian characters, a common practice in Western theatre during the early 1900s. Despite this, the play's enchanting storyline and mesmerizing performances made it a must-see production for theatre-goers. The postcard, from The Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of English theatre and the captivating productions that once graced the stages of London and the provinces. This image serves as a reminder of the power of live theatre to transport us to new worlds, ignite our imaginations, and leave us spellbound.
