Anthony Hopkins (left playing the part of Donelly) and Michael Reid in a scene from the Brendan Behan play " The Quare Fellow" at The Playhouse Theatre, Liverpool.
The Quare Fellow is Brendan Behans first play, first produced in 1954.
The title is taken from a Hiberno-English pronunciation of queer, meaning " strange" or " unusual". In context, the word lacks the denotation of homosexuality that it holds today, although the word quare is never used in the context of sexuality. The play does feature a gay character, but he is referred to as The Other Fellow.
Anthony Hopkins was born Philip Anthony Hopkins 31st December 1937 in Margam Glamorgan, Wales.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the talented actors Anthony Hopkins (left) and Michael Reid in a scene from Brendan Behan's renowned play, "The Quare Fellow" performed at The Playhouse Theatre in Liverpool. "The Quare Fellow" marked Behan's debut as a playwright, premiering in 1954. The title of the play derives from an Irish-English pronunciation of queer, meaning strange or unusual. However, it is important to note that during this time, the word did not carry its contemporary connotation related to homosexuality. Interestingly, although there is a gay character featured in the play, he is referred to as "The Other Fellow". Born on December 31st, 1937 as Philip Anthony Hopkins in Margam Glamorgan, Wales, Anthony Hopkins has become one of the most celebrated actors of our time. This snapshot was taken on September 22nd, 1964. Transporting us back to the vibrant atmosphere of Liverpool's theater scene during the swinging sixties (1960s), this image evokes nostalgia for an era when stage performances captivated audiences with their raw emotions and powerful storytelling. Preserved by Mirrorpix and now available through Memory Lane Prints, this photograph serves as a timeless reminder of both Hopkins' early career and his remarkable portrayal of Donelly alongside Michael Reid in "The Quare Fellow.
