EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene from Max Reinhardt's groundbreaking production of "The Miracle" at the Lyceum Theatre in London during the 1930s. The play, a religious drama told entirely in mime, was a spectacle unlike any other and marked a significant departure from traditional theatrical performances. At the heart of this scene, Lady Diana Duff Cooper, an English aristocrat and socialite, takes on the role of the Madonna. Her serene expression and regal bearing convey the deep devotion and reverence of the character, as she is surrounded by awe-struck worshippers. The intricately designed set, with its towering arches and stained glass windows, adds to the otherworldly atmosphere, transporting the audience to a sacred space. The production, which ran from 1931 to 1932, was a critical and commercial success, with Reinhardt's innovative use of mime and visual storytelling captivating audiences. The all-star cast, which included renowned actors and actresses of the time, brought the biblical story to life in a way that transcended language and cultural barriers. This photograph is a testament to the power of theatrical storytelling and the ability of the stage to transport audiences to new worlds and experiences. With its stunning visuals and powerful performances, "The Miracle" at the Lyceum Theatre remains a landmark production in the history of theatre.
