EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of A Runaway Girl, a musical comedy sensation of the late 1890s, as depicted in this promotional postcard by renowned artist John Hassall. The image features a runaway Englishwoman, dressed in a flowing white gown, making a daring escape in a gondola amidst the enchanting Italian waters. This musical comedy, written by Seymour Hicks and Harry Nicholls, with music by Ivan Caryll and Lionel Monckton, first graced the stage at the Gaiety Theatre on May 21, 1898. The production was a popular success, bringing together the best of music, comedy, and theatrical pantomime. The story follows an Englishwoman who, in search of adventure, joins a group of musicians in Italy, only to discover they are actually bandits. The audience was transported to a world of laughter, music, and excitement as they watched the runaway girl navigate her way through the challenges of love, identity, and the Italian underworld. This postcard, created by the talented John Hassall around the time of the play's premiere, captures the essence of the production's charm and allure. The gondolas glide effortlessly through the water, the Italian landscape shimmering in the background, and the runaway girl, with a look of determination and excitement on her face, embodies the spirit of adventure that lies at the heart of A Runaway Girl. Step back in time and experience the magic of this musical comedy classic, as brought to life in this beautiful and intricately detailed postcard.
