EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Whiteoaks, a beloved Canadian stage production brought to life by the brilliant Mazo de la Roche. This photograph features Nancy Price in the iconic role of Gran Whiteoak, a character as intriguing and timeless as the ancient oak tree from which she derives her name. First performed at the Little Theatre in April 1936, Whiteoaks quickly became a sensation, with critics comparing it to the groundbreaking London production of The Bells by the legendary Irving. George Bernard Shaw, a renowned playwright and critic, was among those captivated, exclaiming, "Amazing. There has been nothing like it in London since Irving captured it with The Bells." This theatrical masterpiece, set in the 1930s, tells the story of Gran Whiteoak, a wise and mischievous old woman who uses her wit and cunning to bring a pantomime to life in her small village. With her grandchildren and the help of her magical bird, she creates a world of wonder and delight, filled with laughter, music, and magic. Nancy Price's portrayal of Gran Whiteoak was a tour de force, earning her critical acclaim and the admiration of audiences across the country. This photograph, taken during the production's tour, captures the magic and enchantment of Whiteoaks, transporting us back to a simpler time when the power of storytelling could captivate the hearts and minds of all who saw it. Join Gran Whiteoak and her magical world as it comes to life on the stage, and experience the wonder and delight of this classic Canadian production. A true treasure from the 1930s, Whiteoaks is a must-see for anyone who believes in the power of imagination and the magic of the theatre.
