Cousin Kate" by Hubert Henry Davies: A Dramatic Moment from the 1903 Haymarket Theatre Production This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment from the first production of Hubert Henry Davies' play "Cousin Kate" at the Haymarket Theatre in London on 18th June 1903. Directed by Percy Hutchison with arrangements by Harrison and Maude, the play was a sensation, with this scene featuring prominently in promotional materials. In the image, we see Kate (played by an unidentified actress) surprised and alarmed as she spies Heath (also unidentified) attempting to enter the room through an open window. The expression on Kate's face conveys a mixture of fear and anger, while Heath's determined posture suggests a man who will stop at nothing to be with the woman he loves. The stark contrast between the white-clad Kate and the darker tones of the room and the man's clothing adds to the dramatic tension. The scene is set in a simple yet elegant room, with a piano and a chair visible in the background. The mood is one of suspense and intrigue, as Kate wonders how Heath came to be there and why he disregarded her pleas to stay away. The photograph captures the essence of this moment, immortalizing the intense emotions and high stakes of this classic stage drama. This photograph is from the David Allen catalogue no. 710, an 18-sheet print, and is believed to date from 1903. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th century theatre and the captivating performances that brought stories to life on the stage.
