George Thorne as Touchstone in As You Like It: A Captivating Portrayal of Shakespeare's Witty and Charming Character from the Late Victorian Era This enchanting photograph captures the essence of George Thorne's portrayal of Touchstone in Shakespeare's beloved comedy, As You Like It. Dating back to the 1890s, this image showcases Thorne's exceptional talent as a late Victorian actor, bringing the iconic character to life on the stage. Touchstone, a witty and charming shepherd, is one of Shakespeare's most beloved comic characters. In As You Like It, he adds humor and lightness to the forest setting, where the play's main characters seek refuge. Thorne's portrayal of Touchstone is both captivating and authentic, as evidenced by the mischievous twinkle in his eye and the confident air he exudes. The photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the world of Footlights Favorites, a popular theatrical enterprise that showcased the greatest actors of the time. Thorne's costume, with its intricate woodland patterns and natural colors, perfectly complements the forest setting of the play. The trees and woodland surroundings in the background add to the overall atmosphere, further emphasizing the connection between Touchstone and the natural world. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back to the late Victorian era, a time when Shakespearean theatre was at the height of its popularity. Thorne's portrayal of Touchstone remains a favorite among fans of classical theatre, demonstrating the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's comedies and the remarkable talent of the actors who brought them to life on the stage.
