A collection of images from Siren's show 'From the Divine'.
1. This shows a photo of Tasha Fairbanks as Harry, together with the ventriloquist’s dummy, also called Harry. Tasha learnt ventriloquism from a book she took out of the library, leading up to the show. In most of the plays, it was mainly Tasha who cross-dressed to take the male parts.
2. This shows two photos from the contact sheet of photos of “From the Divine’. The first is of Jude Winter as Lily dancing with Tasha Fairbanks as Harry. The second is of Jane Boston as Ruby, with Tasha Fairbanks and Jude Winter. Although Siren always requested the return of their photos, this often did not happen, leaving the company without the original prints, hence the use of the contact sheet to show some of the images.
3. This shows a photo from the contact sheet of photos of ‘From the Divine’. It is over Jude Winter as Lily the ‘sweet good girl,’ dancing to the music of Jane Boston as Ruby, the ‘naughty bad girl’, as women were often portrayed during the war. Siren began embracing glamour for this play, leaving behind much of the agitprop look of the earlier shows.
