EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of William Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' as depicted in this promotional postcard from the Herbert Beerbohm Tree Company's touring production of 1905. The image showcases the iconic character of Caliban, portrayed by Charles Buchel, in a striking pose that embodies the complexities of this intriguing figure from the play. Set against a backdrop of theatrical grandeur, this Edwardian-era postcard transports us to a time when live theatre was a popular form of entertainment. The elaborate costumes, dramatic lighting, and larger-than-life performances were all part of the allure that drew audiences to the theatre. 'The Tempest,' one of Shakespeare's final plays, tells the story of Prospero, a sorcerer who seeks revenge on those who betrayed him. Caliban, a savage and rebellious slave, plays a pivotal role in the plot. Buchel's portrayal of Caliban in this production captures the essence of this complex character, making it a standout moment in the play. This postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's works and the power of live theatre to transport us to other worlds. It also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the theatrical practices and cultural sensibilities of the early 1900s. Whether you're a fan of Shakespeare or simply appreciate the art of theatre, this postcard is a must-have addition to your collection.
