EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph captures a scene from a Mystery play, the type of performance that young William Shakespeare would have witnessed in his hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon. The image depicts a fantastical creature, possibly representing death or hell, looming over a child with an expression of fear and awe on his face.
The intricate details and vibrant colours bring this historical theatrical moment to life, transporting viewers back to 16th century England. The artist, Donn P. Crane, has expertly captured the essence of these medieval plays that combined religious themes with elements of drama and spectacle.
As we gaze upon this print, we can imagine the excitement and wonder that must have filled the air during these performances. The influence of Mystery plays on Shakespeare's own work is evident in his use of dramatic tension and larger-than-life characters.
This artwork serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire artists and audiences alike. It invites us to explore the connections between past and present, between tradition and innovation. Let us marvel at this glimpse into history and appreciate the enduring power of storytelling through theatre.
