EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures Charles Wyndham (1837-1919) on the cusp of a new era in London's theatrical landscape. Wyndham, an esteemed actor-manager, is depicted in The Sketch magazine at the time of the opening of his own theatre, Wyndhams Theatre, in 1899. With a confident and determined expression, Wyndham gazes out at the viewer, a testament to his unwavering commitment to the stage. The first production at Wyndhams Theatre was a revival of David Garrick, with Wyndham taking on the title role. This was a fitting choice for the new theatre, as Garrick was a legendary figure in British theatre history and Wyndham was following in his footsteps as both an actor and a theatre owner. The opening of Wyndhams Theatre marked a significant moment in the careers of Wyndham and many other actors and managers who would go on to grace its stage. The theatre, located in the heart of London's West End, quickly became a hub for innovative and high-quality productions. Wyndham's vision and talent as a manager ensured its success, and it remains a cherished institution in the British theatre scene to this day. This portrait of Wyndham serves as a reminder of his important contribution to the world of theatre and his enduring legacy as a trailblazing figure in the industry.
