EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of pure joy and enchantment as Roy Royston, portraying the character of Joe Gargan, and June Kelly, as Nelly Kelly, share a dance in the iconic production of "Little Nelly Kelly." The image is taken from the original 1947 London revival of the classic Australian musical, which was staged at the Aldwych Theatre. Roy Royston, an accomplished Australian actor and dancer, brought a raw energy and intensity to his portrayal of Joe Gargan, a character known for his passionate love for Nelly Kelly and his unwavering commitment to protecting her. June Kelly, an English actress and dancer, dazzled audiences with her captivating performance as Nelly, a young girl who grows up in the harsh Australian bush and eventually falls in love with Joe. The production of "Little Nelly Kelly," which premiered in Melbourne in 1939 and was based on the novel by Katherine Mansfield and the play by Douglas Stewart, was a groundbreaking work that combined music, history, theatre, and dance in a unique and powerful way. The show's innovative blend of various artistic elements, including its use of traditional Australian folk music and dance, helped to establish it as a landmark of Australian cultural history. This photograph, taken during a performance of the London revival, is a testament to the enduring power of live theatre and the magic that can be created when talented artists come together to bring a story to life on stage. The image captures the essence of the production, with its vibrant colors, expressive bodies, and the palpable connection between Roy Royston and June Kelly as they dance together in the dimly lit hall.
