EDITORS COMMENTS
Edith Wynne in the Role of Red Riding Hood at the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin (1890s) This photograph captures the enchanting presence of Edith Wynne as she embodies the iconic character of Red Riding Hood on the stage of Dublin's renowned Gaiety Theatre during the late Victorian era. Dressed in an exquisite, vibrant red riding hood and tights, Wynne's expressive face and captivating gaze draw the audience into the magical world of fairy tales. The intricately painted backdrop of a forest scene with its towering trees and sunlit clearing sets the perfect stage for this classic tale of innocence and danger. Wynne's character, known for her blonde curls and sweet demeanor, is depicted here with a determined look in her eyes and a hand poised to blow her horn, signaling her approach to Grandma's house. Cross-dressing was a common practice in late 19th-century theatre, and Wynne's portrayal of Red Riding Hood showcases her exceptional talent as an actress. The Gaiety Theatre was a favorite venue for footlights favorites, and Wynne's performance undoubtedly left a lasting impression on audiences. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the theatre and the captivating power of a well-crafted performance.
