EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of West Street in London's Covent Garden during the 1950s. At the heart of the scene stands the elegant St. Martins Theatre, its marquee announcing the current production, "Odd Man In," starring beloved British actors Donald Sinden, Muriel Pavlow, and Derek Farr. The play, a comedy-drama by Terence Rattigan, opened in 1954 and was revived for this production in 1957. The theatre, with its distinctive art deco facade, is nestled between the vibrant shops and cafes that line the street. In the background, the St. Martins Hotel adds to the sense of energy and activity. The photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural landscape of post-war London. Donald Sinden, a versatile actor known for his work in film, television, and theatre, plays the lead role in "Odd Man In." Muriel Pavlow, a popular stage and screen actress, appears alongside him, while Derek Farr, a rising talent, completes the trio. The trio's presence at St. Martins Theatre drew crowds and ensured a successful run for the production. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of live theatre and the magic it brings to the streets of London. The image, with its timeless charm and captivating story, continues to captivate audiences and offer a glimpse into the past.
