EDITORS COMMENTS
Rutland Barrington, a beloved figure in late Victorian theatre, is depicted here in an enchanting photograph as the lead character, Stephon, in the popular production of 'Happy Arcadia.' Dressed in the authentic shepherd's costume of the time, complete with a crook and a lamb at his feet, Barrington exudes the warmth and charm required for the role of the kind-hearted shepherd. The backdrop of the painted stage sets the idyllic scene of a pastoral paradise, further enhancing the serene and peaceful atmosphere of the image. Stephon was one of Barrington's most cherished roles, and he brought a unique charm and grace to the character that captivated audiences during the 1890s. The Footlights Favourites, as Barrington and his contemporaries were known, were the leading men of the late Victorian theatre scene, and their performances were eagerly anticipated by theatre-goers. This photograph, taken during the 1890s, offers a glimpse into the world of late Victorian theatre and the enduring appeal of classic productions such as 'Happy Arcadia.' The image is a testament to the skill and artistry of Barrington, who brought Stephon to life on the stage, and the magic of the theatre that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
