A Cuckoo in the Nest," a popular farce that graced the London stage in 1925, is depicted in this photograph from the Nerman archive. The scene showcases a moment of shock and disbelief as the impeccably dressed husband, played by Ralph Lynn, is discovered by his wife, Yvonne Arnaud, and in-laws in an equally impeccable bedroom. The hour is not one that can easily be explained, adding to the comical tension in the room. Seated to the right of the bed, Mary Brough and Tom Walls watch the scene unfold with expressions of dismay and astonishment. Roger Livesey, standing behind Arnaud, looks on with a mixture of concern and amusement. Enda Mason, the other woman in the room, appears unfazed by the situation, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the scene.
