EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the captivating presence of English actor William Terriss as he portrays the iconic role of King Henry VIII in a Shakespearean production at the prestigious Lyceum Theatre in London during the 1890s. Dressed in an intricately designed Tudor costume, Terriss embodies the regal majesty and unyielding power of the monarch, whose reign is marked by political intrigue, religious upheaval, and romantic entanglements. Terriss, a renowned actor of his time, brings to life the complexities of the character, balancing the monarch's strength and vulnerability with an undeniable charisma. The production, which premiered in 1892, was a significant event in London's theatrical scene, drawing large audiences and critical acclaim for its authentic portrayal of the Tudor era. The late Victorian era, with its fascination for all things historical and royal, provided the perfect backdrop for such a production. The photograph, taken during the run of the play, captures Terriss in mid-performance, his intense gaze fixed on an unseen audience, transporting them to the court of Henry VIII. The image serves as a testament to the power of theatre to transport us to another time and place, and to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's timeless plays. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in both Terriss's career and the history of Shakespearean theatre in London.
