EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intensity and drama of the stage production of "The Sign of the Cross" from 1895, featuring the renowned actors Maud Jeffries as Mercia and Wilson Barrett as Marcus. The four-act historical tragedy, written by Barrett, was a popular theatrical sensation for several decades and marked Barrett's attempt to bridge the gap between Church and Stage. Maud Jeffries, portraying Mercia, is shown in a poised and prayerful pose, her eyes closed in deep concentration, her hands clasped in supplication, and her toga draped elegantly around her. The image exudes a sense of piety and devotion, with the chains and shackles at her feet serving as a stark reminder of the challenges and sacrifices of her faith. Wilson Barrett, as Marcus, gazes intently at Mercia, his expression a mixture of admiration and intrigue. He ponders aloud, "Is it her Faith makes her so beautiful? Or doth she beautify her faith?" The question hangs in the air, adding to the moral complexity of the production. The scene is set in ancient Rome, and the classical setting, costumes, and themes of the play transported audiences to another time and place. The Sign of the Cross was a testament to the power of drama to explore the depths of human emotion, faith, and morality, making it a must-see theatrical event of the Victorian era.
