EDITORS COMMENTS
Es Willard, an accomplished late Victorian actor, is captured in this striking photograph as he embodies the enigmatic character of Cyrus Blenkarn in the stage production of 'The Middleman.' Dressed in authentic period attire, Willard dons a man's shirt sleeves and waistcoat, adding to the authenticity of his portrayal. The setting of the image transports us back to the 1890s, with the presence of a coal shovel and a pile of burning coals in the background, further emphasizing the gritty and raw atmosphere of the play. Willard's intense gaze and furrowed brow convey the depth and complexity of Cyrus Blenkarn, a character known for his cunning and manipulative nature. The Middleman was a popular late Victorian drama that explored themes of deception, power, and morality, making it a challenging and rewarding role for any actor. Es Willard's ability to fully immerse himself in the character is evident in this photograph, which captures a moment of quiet reflection before the intensity of the performance. The stage lights are not visible, but one can imagine the anticipation and excitement of the audience as they wait for the curtain to rise and Cyrus Blenkarn to come to life on stage. This photograph is a testament to the skill and artistry of Es Willard as an actor, and serves as a reminder of the power of live theatre to transport us to another time and place.
