EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures Mr Henry Woodward in the character of Petruchio, from David Garrick's adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. This farce was performed at the prestigious Drury Lane Theatre in 1756, showcasing Woodward's talent for comedy roles. Known as an English actor famous for his comedic performances, Woodward brought life to Petruchio with his impeccable timing and expressive gestures. In this image, we see Woodward fully immersed in his role, exuding confidence and charisma. His costume reflects the fashion of the 18th century theatre, adding authenticity to his portrayal. The copperplate engraving by James Roberts beautifully captures every detail of Woodward's performance. Woodward's interpretation of Petruchio is both entertaining and thought-provoking. As he navigates through the complexities of love and power dynamics with Catherine (played by another talented actress), he brings out the humor and wit that make this play a timeless classic. This print serves as a testament to Woodward's skill as an actor and highlights his contribution to British theatre during this era. It also reminds us of the enduring popularity and relevance of Shakespearean plays even centuries after their creation. Overall, this image offers a glimpse into a remarkable moment in theatrical history when Mr Henry Woodward breathed life into one of Shakespeare's most memorable characters on stage at Drury Lane Theatre.
