EDITORS COMMENTS
This scene is taken from the first act of the groundbreaking play "Damaged Goods" at the St. Martins Theatre in London, circa 1917. The play, written by the renowned French dramatist Léon Brieux, is a powerful exploration of the social evil of syphilis and its impact on individuals and relationships. In this image, we see a group of men intently gathered around a desk, deep in conversation. Their serious expressions and focused gaze suggest the gravity of the topic at hand. The setting of the theatre and the formal attire of the men add to the sense of importance and urgency. "Damaged Goods" was a controversial production for its time, tackling a taboo subject with honesty and sensitivity. The play challenged societal norms and sparked widespread debate, making it a must-see for theatre-goers in London and beyond. Brieux's masterful storytelling and insightful commentary on the human condition continue to resonate with audiences today. This scene from the first act serves as a poignant reminder of the play's enduring relevance and its place in theatre history. The Michael Diamond Collection / Mary Evans Picture Library preserves this precious piece of theatrical history, allowing us to revisit and reflect on the powerful impact of "Damaged Goods" on the stage and in our collective consciousness.
