EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Albert Foster, we witness a significant moment in the history of the theatrical profession. Dated February 18th, 1975, a delegation representing the theatre industry gathers at Number 11 Downing Street to present a petition to Mr Denis Healey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The purpose? To voice their discontent with the imposition of VAT on theatre tickets. At the forefront of this deputation stand three iconic figures: Danny La Rue, Joan Plowright, and Dorothy Tutin. Their presence alone speaks volumes about their commitment to fighting for change within an industry that brings joy and entertainment to countless individuals. The photograph encapsulates both campaign and political elements as these influential personalities join forces against an unfair tax policy. It serves as a reminder that even those in glamorous professions are not immune to economic challenges or political battles. Albert Foster's expert lens captures every detail – from their determined expressions down to each crease on their petition – allowing us to step back into this pivotal moment in time. As we gaze upon this image from Memory Lane Prints, it is impossible not to feel inspired by these trailblazers who dared challenge authority for what they believed was right: fair treatment for theatregoers and artists alike.
