EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image invites us into the heart of The Prisoner of the Bastille, a riveting theatrical adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic novel, A Tale of Two Cities, which was touring the United Kingdom in the early 20th century from the prestigious Lyceum Theatre in London. The scene unfolds within the dank, foreboding walls of the infamous Bastille prison in France, a symbol of oppression during the French Revolution. The central figure, a determined man, stands defiantly amidst a group of armed soldiers, their swords at the ready. His unwavering gaze and clenched fist convey a sense of courage and resilience in the face of adversity. Surrounding him, a group of women and men, some with expressions of fear, others of defiance, add depth and tension to the scene. The interior of the Bastille is dimly lit, with shadows dancing on the stone walls, creating an atmosphere of suspense and intrigue. The Prisoner of the Bastille was a groundbreaking production that brought Dickens' timeless tale of love, sacrifice, and revolution to life on the English stage. This postcard serves as a tantalizing glimpse into the world of this play, transporting us back in time to the turbulent streets of 18th-century France and the thrilling drama that unfolded within the hallowed halls of the Bastille.
