1892 Hanbury Lily Marion Oscar Plays Terry Wilde Windermere
Lady Windermere's Fan
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic play by Oscar Wilde, first produced at the St. James Theatre in London in 1892. This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, immortalizes a pivotal moment from the production. In the photograph, Marion Terry, who portrayed the enigmatic Mrs. Erlynne, is seen earnestly entreating Lily Hanbury, who played the titular character, Lady Windermere. The scene unfolds as Lady Windermere contemplates an affair with Lord Darlington, unaware that her husband, Lord Windermere, is unfaithful himself. Mrs. Erlynne, who has a past of her own, attempts to dissuade Lady Windermere from making a decision that could potentially ruin her reputation and her marriage. The elegant setting of the St. James Theatre is reflected in the ladies' exquisite attire and the ornate fan that Lady Windermere holds. The expression on Mrs. Erlynne's face conveys a mixture of concern and compassion, while Lady Windermere appears thoughtful and introspective. The theatrical backdrop, with its rich colors and intricate details, adds to the overall allure of the scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the historical production of "Lady Windermere's Fan," a play that continues to captivate audiences with its wit, intrigue, and exploration of morality and social norms. The image serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Oscar Wilde's works and the art of theatre in the late 19th century.
