EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature from the 1880s depicts Sir Squire Bancroft (1841-1926), the renowned English actor-manager, in the midst of a lively scene at the Critics Buffet. Surrounded by theatre critics, including Mowbray Morris, Sir Squire appears to be relishing the moment as he engages in animated conversation with his esteemed guests. The critics, all donning monocles and enjoying food and drink, seem to be in high spirits, suggesting that Sir Squire's charm and hospitality have won them over. During the Victorian era, the relationship between actors and critics was often contentious, with the power to secure favourable reviews being a coveted commodity. The Critics Buffet, an informal gathering where actors and critics mingled, was said to be a popular method for securing positive notices. However, this practice, while common, was not without controversy and raised ethical concerns, as some believed it to be a form of bribery. In this image, Sir Squire Bancroft, known for his charisma and theatrical prowess, is shown in a lighthearted yet strategic moment, using the power of his charm and hospitality to potentially sway the opinions of the influential critics. Alfred Bryan, another well-known theatre critic, can be seen in the background, looking on with a critical eye. This caricature provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre and the complex dynamics between actors, critics, and the press. The image, created by an unknown artist, is a testament to the enduring allure of the stage and the power of human connection in shaping public opinion.
