Scene from "The Vicar of Wakefield", at the New Strand Theatre, [London] 1850. Mr. Tom Taylor has dramatised for this theatre the substantive story of Goldsmith's ever-delightful "Vicar of Wakefield;"...Mr Farren and Mrs. Glovor perform Dr. Primrose and his lady, so pompous, so pathetic. Olivia has fallen to the lot of Mrs. Stirling, who, acting it admirably throughout, gained a triumph at the end, when, as the returning penitent, she clasped her father's knees and wrestled for his pardon. Mr. and Mrs. Leigh Murray, as Burchell and Mrs. Skeggs, were telling; Mr. Norton, as Squire Thornhill, was effective; and the two junior Farrens, as Moses and Ephraim Jenkinson, were not much amiss; whilst Farmer Flamborough was capitally performed by Mr. Bender. It is needless to say that, thus supported, the drama was most successful. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene from the 1850 production of "The Vicar of Wakefield" at the New Strand Theatre in London. The play, based on the novel by Oliver Goldsmith, was brought to life by the talented actor-manager, Mr. Tom Taylor. In this image, we see the esteemed actors Mr. Farren and Mrs. Glovor delivering their powerful performances as Dr. Primrose and his lady. The pompous and pathetic portrayal of the couple left audiences in awe. The beautiful Olivia, played by Mrs. Stirling, stole the show in her role as the returning penitent, who begged for her father's forgiveness. Her heartfelt performance earned her a well-deserved triumph. The supporting cast, including Mr. and Mrs. Leigh Murray as Burchell and Mrs. Skeggs, Mr. Norton as Squire Thornhill, and the junior Farrens as Moses and Ephraim Jenkinson, all delivered impressive performances. The role of Farmer Flamborough was brilliantly portrayed by Mr. Bender. The production was a resounding success, with critics raving about the acting and the overall quality of the production. The Illustrated London News reported that 'thus supported, the drama was most successful.' This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich theatrical history of the 19th century and the captivating performances that left audiences spellbound.
