EDITORS COMMENTS
Reach the Stage: A Bairnsfather Duologue in "Half-Past Eight" at the Comedy Theatre, 1916 This photograph captures a scene from the popular revue, "Half-Past Eight," which was staged at the Comedy Theatre in London during the tumultuous year of 1916. The image showcases two soldiers, portrayed by Mr. Will Evans and Mr. Hugh E.Wright, engaging in a humorous dialogue reminiscent of the iconic works of British satirical cartoonist Bruce Bairnsfather. Bairnsfather's distinctive style of war cartoons, which depicted the absurdities and hardships of life in the trenches during World War I, had captured the hearts and minds of the British public. The popularity of his characters, such as Old Bill and the Boche, led to numerous adaptations for stage and screen. In this scene from "Half-Past Eight," the soldiers' expressive body language and facial expressions convey the wit and charm of the Bairnsfather-esque dialogue. The soldiers' uniforms and props, including rifles and a map, further add to the authenticity and atmosphere of the production. The Comedy Theatre, a renowned venue for comedy and revue performances, provided the perfect setting for this adaptation of Bairnsfather's beloved characters. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was at war, and the power of humor and camaraderie helped to lift the spirits of the British people. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of Bairnsfather's work and the ability of live theatre to bring beloved characters to life on stage. It serves as a reminder of the importance of laughter and connection, even in the most challenging of times. Image Credit: Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans (maryevans.com)
