EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing a lively and colorful pantomime production of "Puss in Boots" at the Aquarium in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Produced by Ernest E. Norris and directly imported from the Elephant and Castle Theatre in London during the early 20th century, this theatrical spectacle brought joy and wonderment to audiences during the holiday season. The image features an array of vibrant costumes and whimsical characters, including the titular Puss in Boots, portrayed by the jovial and expressive Jim White. The cat, with its distinctive boots and mischievous grin, is flanked by an ensemble of colorfully dressed performers, including a red-nosed clown, a green-skinned ogre, and a regal princess. The setting, adorned with a windmill and aquatic decor, adds to the enchanting atmosphere of the production. The pantomime, a traditional British theatrical form that combines music, dance, comedy, and spectacle, was a cherished New Year's entertainment for families. With its lively performances, engaging storytelling, and larger-than-life characters, pantomime provided a much-needed respite from the daily grind and transported audiences to a magical world of imagination and delight. This photograph, with its rich history and captivating subject matter, offers a glimpse into the past and the enduring appeal of live theatre. It serves as a reminder of the power of storytelling and the joy that can be found in the simplest of pleasures, such as a lively pantomime performance.
