About Roald Dahl and his legacy Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG and many more of the world’s best-loved children’s stories. He remains one of the World’s greatest storytellers. His first children’s story, James and the Giant Peach published in 1961, was a hit and every subsequent book became a best-seller. Today, his stories are available in 61 languages and, by a conservative estimate, he has sold more than 250 million books. Many of these stories have also been adapted for stage and screen, including the 1971 film classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Wes Anderson’s acclaimed Fantastic Mr Fox, and the Royal Shakespeare Company’s multi-award winning production of Matilda The Musical.

    46 Simon Sladen Victoria and Albert Museum, UK “That Sort of Fairy Tale’s No Use in the New Victorian Age That’s Coming”: The Past as a Metaphor for the Present in Peter Nichols’s Poppy In 1982 the Royal Shakespeare Company premiered Peter Nichols’s Poppy at London’s Barbican Theatre. Using the past as a metaphor for the present, Poppy’s historical depiction of the nineteenth century Opium Wars in China resonated strongly with the then Conservative government’s economic policies and negotiations over Hong Kong’s future. Poppy draws comparisons between the ‘reigns’ of Queen Victoria and Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and confronts audiences with Britain’s colonial past. By way of theatrical juxtapositioning, the production criticises the present by evoking the past, wherein Nichols also uses contemporary references to 1980s politics and society to strengthen the metaphor. This article examines Nichols’s use of British pantomime conventions to expose Britain’s colonial history and considers the impact of history and Thatcher’s three terms in government on the Half Moon Theatre’s 1988 revival. The author argues that Poppy can be read as an outcry against, not only a celebration of Britain’s colonial past, but also Thatcherism. Simon Sladen is Senior Curator of Modern and Contemporary Performance at the Victoria and Albert Museum and is recognised as one of the UK’s leading experts on British Pantomime. Keywords: Britain, China, Opium Wars, pantomime, postcolonial, Thatcherism Introduction n 2011, to celebrate the Royal Shakespeare Company’s (RSC) fiftieth I anniversary, playwright Mark Ravenhill was invited to curate a weekend of readings in Stratford-upon-Avon.
