EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we catch a glimpse of the talented actress Susan Hampshire as she passionately demonstrates for the abolition of VAT to support live performing arts. Standing in front of the iconic St. Martin's-in-the-Fields in London, Hampshire is joined by fellow actors Sheila Hancock, Richard Briers, Jane Lapotaire, and Anna Carteret from the National Theatre. The year is 1975, and amidst spiraling costs within the industry, these renowned performers have taken to the streets to fight for their craft. With her rolled-up jeans and stylish boots paired with a vibrant scarf around her neck, Hampshire exudes both determination and joy. A placard held high above her head reads "Scarp The Ticket Tax" reflecting their unified demand for change. As captured in this moment frozen in time by an anonymous staff photographer from Memory Lane Prints, Hampshire's infectious smile radiates optimism even amidst adversity. Her presence alongside other esteemed artists showcases their unwavering commitment to preserving the magic of theater, music, opera, and ballet. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how art has always been intertwined with activism throughout history. It immortalizes not only Susan Hampshire but also a collective voice fighting against financial obstacles that threaten artistic expression.
