EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: In this print titled "Theatre: Entertainment: Oh! Calcutta!" by Bill Rowntree, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of London in December 1972. Commissionaire Alf Bryant stands proudly outside the iconic Royalty Theatre, his presence adding a touch of old-world charm to the bustling atmosphere. Oh! Calcutta!, a groundbreaking production that pushed boundaries and challenged societal norms, is at the center of attention. The controversy surrounding its explicit nudity and provocative themes made it an unforgettable piece of theatrical history. This photograph captures both the allure and intrigue that surrounded this daring play. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryear, we can almost feel the anticipation in the air as theatergoers eagerly await their evening's entertainment. The Royal Theatre itself serves as a backdrop, exuding grandeur and elegance. Bill Rowntree's lens has frozen a moment in time when artistry met controversy on stage. It reminds us of how theater has always been a platform for pushing boundaries and challenging conventions. This print allows us to reflect on an era where sex was explored theatrically with boldness and creativity. It invites us to appreciate not only the artistic merit but also the cultural impact that productions like Oh! Calcutta! had during their time.
