EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures H.B. Irving in a rare dual role as Lesurques and Dubosc in The Lyons Mail at the Theatre Royal in Newcastle-on-Tyne during the early 1900s. Irving, a renowned English actor of the Edwardian era, is known for his exceptional versatility and ability to bring complex characters to life on stage. In this production, Irving dons two distinct personas, each with unique costumes and characteristics. Lesurques, a suave and cunning nobleman, is depicted wearing an elegant waistcoat and a top hat, while Dubosc, a humble and innocent peasant, is seen in simple attire. The contrast between the two roles showcases Irving's remarkable range as an actor. The Theatre Royal in Newcastle-on-Tyne was a popular venue for touring productions during this period, and The Lyons Mail was a well-known play that drew large crowds. Irving's presence in the production no doubt added to the excitement and anticipation of the performance. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of theatre in the UK during the early 1900s and the enduring legacy of H.B. Irving as a masterful actor. The intricate details of the costumes, the expressive facial expressions of Irving, and the atmospheric setting of the theatre transport us back in time, allowing us to experience a moment of theatre history.
