EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1840s in this theatrical production of "Remnant" by Michael Morton. Originally premiered at the Royalty Theatre on March 3, 1917, during the tumultuous period of the First World War, this heartwarming play offers a welcome escape from the harsh realities of the outside world. At the center of the story is a young, idealistic French engineer, who is determined to build a dream railroad. However, his progress is hindered by a selfish mistress, who only cares for her own desires. Enter a plucky French gamin, who helps the engineer rid himself of his unwanted companion and paves the way for the successful completion of the railroad. Betty Fairfax, the beautiful and talented actress, graces the promotional postcard for this production, which was later toured to the Theatre Royal in Chatham on May 6, 1918. Although she did not appear in the London production, Fairfax's presence adds an extra allure to this already intriguing theatrical experience. This postcard, produced in 1918, is a fascinating glimpse into the world of popular entertainment during the 1910s. The era of pantomime and panto was in full swing, and productions like "Remnant" offered audiences a much-needed distraction from the ongoing First World War.
