Globe Kinsella Minaret Minarets Muezzin Panto Pantomime Promotional Voice 1919 Theatrical
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of 'The Voice From The Minaret' by Robert Hichins, as depicted in this promotional postcard from 1919. This theatrical masterpiece, produced at the esteemed Globe Theatre on August 26, 1919, was brought to life by the brilliant artistic vision of E.P. Kinsella. Set against the backdrop of Damascus and Drobridge-on-Sea, 'The Voice From The Minaret' is a timeless tale of unrequited love that transcends cultural boundaries. The image on this postcard showcases the essence of the production, with the silhouette of a muezzin calling from the minaret against the night sky. The minarets, towering structures that symbolize the Islamic faith, add an exotic and alluring touch to the scene. This play, which first graced the stage in the 1910s, was a popular form of pantomime or panto, a theatrical genre that combines music, dance, comedy, and drama. 'The Voice From The Minaret' was a staple of popular entertainment during this era, and its enduring appeal continues to captivate audiences today. The intricate details of the minarets and the muezzin's figure, as captured by Kinsella's artistic hand, transport us to a world of enchantment and romance. This postcard is not only a piece of history but also a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring allure of the stage.
