Seven Days Leave
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Glimpse into the Drama of the Home Front during World War I This photograph, taken circa 1917, offers a glimpse into the world of "Seven Days Leave," a new play by Walter Howard that graced the stage of the esteemed Lyceum Theatre on the Strand in London. The image features three prominent actors in their roles: Alfred Paumier as Captain Fielding, Annie Saker as Lady Mary, and Leslie Carter as Colonel Sharrow. The play, set against the backdrop of the First World War, explores the complexities of life on the home front as loved ones eagerly await the return of their soldiers on their precious seven-day leaves. The Lyceum Theatre, a historic and grand venue, provided the perfect setting for this poignant and thought-provoking production. Captain Fielding, portrayed by Alfred Paumier, is a weary yet determined military man, returning to his family after weeks, if not months, of service. Lady Mary, played by Annie Saker, is a woman of refinement and grace, whose world has been turned upside down by the war. And Leslie Carter's Colonel Sharrow, a seasoned military leader, adds a sense of gravity and wisdom to the production. The photograph captures the essence of the play's themes – love, loss, and the enduring human spirit – as these three actors bring their characters to life on the stage. The 1910s, a time of great change and uncertainty, are vividly portrayed through the compelling narrative of "Seven Days Leave." This photograph is a testament to the power of live theatre to transport us to another time and place, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the universal themes that continue to resonate today.
