EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the magic and enchantment of a classic pantomime performance of Jack and the Beanstalk at the Theatre Royal in Sheffield, during the festive season of December 1910. Produced by John Hart, this production brought to life the beloved children's tale of Jack, a young boy who sells his mother's prized cow for a handful of magic beans, which then grow into a gigantic beanstalk reaching the sky. The image showcases an exciting moment from the show as the principal boy, dressed in vibrant colors and wearing a mask, climbs the beanstalk, accompanied by his mother and son. The mother, dressed in traditional pantomime costume, looks up at her son with pride and encouragement, while the young boy gazes in awe at the spectacle unfolding before him. The Theatre Royal in Sheffield, a popular venue for pantomimes during the early 1900s, played host to numerous productions that brought joy and laughter to generations of audiences. The 1910 production of Jack and the Beanstalk, with its elaborate sets, colorful costumes, and engaging performances, was no exception. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of pantomime and live entertainment during the 1910s, a time when families would gather to celebrate the Christmas season with the magic of the theatre. The tradition of pantomime continues to this day, bringing laughter, wonder, and joy to audiences of all ages.
