EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned English actor and theatre manager, Charles Kemble, in the role of Charles Surface from the classic comedy, The School for Scandal by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. The image dates back to the late 18th century, around 1775-1854. Kemble's expressive face and animated gestures bring the character of Surface to life, as he delivers a line from the play with unmatched passion and precision. Charles Kemble was a leading figure in the world of British theatre during the Romantic era. He began his career as an actor in 1783, and later became a respected theatre manager, overseeing productions at the prestigious Covent Garden Theatre. Kemble's talent and dedication to the arts earned him a loyal following and critical acclaim. The School for Scandal, first performed in 1777, is a witty and satirical play that explores the hypocrisy and deceit of the upper classes. The character of Charles Surface, a wealthy and seemingly virtuous man, is revealed to be a hypocrite and a scoundrel. Kemble's portrayal of this complex character showcases his exceptional acting abilities, as he skillfully navigates the nuances of Surface's deceitful nature while maintaining the character's charm and charisma. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Charles Kemble as a masterful actor and theatre manager. His dedication to the arts and his ability to captivate audiences with his performances continue to inspire and entertain us today.
