EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the dedication and artistry of an old gentleman wig maker at work within the hallowed halls of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England during the 1960s. The man, with furrowed brow and intense focus, expertly crafts intricate wigs that would soon grace the heads of esteemed actors gracing the RSC's renowned stages. The RSC, an esteemed theatrical institution founded in 1961, is deeply rooted in the rich history of Shakespearean theatre. Located in the very town where the Bard himself was born and raised, the company is committed to preserving and promoting the works of William Shakespeare and his contemporaries. In the background of the photograph, one can glimpse a cluttered workspace filled with an array of wigs, brushes, and other tools of the trade. The atmosphere is one of quiet concentration, as the wig maker meticulously weaves, shapes, and styles each piece to perfection. His creations, both grand and intricate, are essential elements of the RSC's productions, adding depth and authenticity to the characters brought to life on stage. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of the RSC during the 1960s, a time when traditional craftsmanship and artistry were at the heart of the theatrical experience. The old gentleman wig maker's unwavering commitment to his craft serves as a testament to the enduring importance of the human touch in the world of theatre.
