EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the roaring twenties with this promotional postcard for C.K. Monro's theatrical production, "Storm or The Battle of Tinderley Down." This image, featuring the stunning red-head named Storm, transports us to the Ambassadors Theatre in 1924, where this play was first performed. Storm, an elegant and alluring woman, is the mistress of a popular and pompous singer. However, as the title suggests, she finds herself in the midst of a "storm" of emotions when she realizes she prefers the timid but goodhearted man, who is unfortunately married. The expression "storm in a teacup" takes on a new meaning in this theatrical production, as the elegant and poised Storm grapples with her feelings, only to fail in her attempts to win the heart of the man she truly desires. The teacup metaphor adds a touch of whimsy and intrigue to the title, making it all the more intriguing. The 1920s were a time of glamour, entertainment, and theatrical innovation, and this production of "Storm or The Battle of Tinderley Down" encapsulates the essence of the era. With its stunning visuals, captivating storyline, and timeless themes of love, desire, and regret, this play was sure to leave audiences in awe. Join Storm on her journey of self-discovery and heartbreak, as she learns that sometimes the most significant battles are the ones that take place within ourselves. This promotional postcard is a treasure trove of history and theatrical elegance, transporting us back to a bygone era of glamour and intrigue.
