EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the roaring twenties and experience the passion and drama of William Shakespeare's timeless classic, Julius Caesar, as brought to life in this promotional postcard from the St. James Theatre production of 1920. In this evocative image, Henry Ainley takes center stage as Mark Antony, delivering his famous and impassioned "Friends, Romans, countrymen" speech after the assassination of Julius Caesar. The toga-clad actors, with their expressive faces and dramatic poses, transport us to ancient Rome, where political intrigue, betrayal, and revenge unfold against the backdrop of a turbulent and unstable republic. Julius Caesar, one of Shakespeare's most popular and enduring plays, explores themes of power, loyalty, and ambition, as well as the destructive consequences of unchecked desire. This production, which opened at the St. James Theatre on January 9, 1920, was brought to life by the talented artists and actors of the day, including the renowned J.H. Dowd, who created this striking poster. Join us for an unforgettable journey into the heart of Shakespeare's masterpiece, where the power of the spoken word and the drama of the human experience come together in a thrilling and unforgettable theatrical experience. This postcard is not only a fascinating glimpse into the past, but also a reminder of the enduring power of Shakespeare's works to captivate and inspire audiences, both then and now.
