EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the 1840s and the Haymarket Theatre in London, where Benjamin Webster's production of Shakespeare's 'The Taming of the Shrew' came to life. The scene depicted here showcases the infamous "wooing" of Katherine (played by the renowned English acrobat, Jules Blanchet, also known as Signor Planche), by Petruchio (portrayed by the distinguished actor, Charles Kean). The Haymarket Theatre, a prominent stage for theatrical innovation during the 19th century, was the perfect setting for this groundbreaking production. Webster, a visionary director, brought a fresh perspective to the Bard's classic comedy, infusing it with a unique blend of drama, comedy, and acrobatics. In this moment, Petruchio, with a determined expression, attempts to tame the fiery Katherine, who stands defiantly, her arms crossed and a look of disdain on her face. The stage is set with a grand backdrop of a Tuscan landscape, adding an air of elegance and sophistication to the production. The actors are bathed in the soft glow of the theatre lights, creating an enchanting atmosphere that transports the audience to the world of Shakespeare's beloved characters. This image is a testament to the power of live theatre and the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's works. It serves as a reminder of the rich theatrical history that began in the 1840s at the Haymarket Theatre and continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
