1776 Bajazet Christopher Dagger Hopkins Marlowe Palmer Plays Tamerlane Thou Miss
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Tamerlane: Mr. Palmer as Bajazet and Miss Hopkins as Selima in Act V: Now, now thou traitress," is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the world of 18th-century theatre. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Picture Library, dates back to 1776 and depicts Christopher Palmer in the role of Bajazet and Miss Hopkins portraying Selima in a production of Christopher Marlowe's historical play, "Tamerlane." Marlowe's "Tamerlane," written in the late 16th century, is a tragic play that tells the story of the Mongol conqueror Timur Lenk, also known as Tamerlane. The play is filled with grandeur, intrigue, and passion, and the scene captured in this photograph comes from the final act, where Bajazet, the father of the captive princess Selima, confronts her betrayal with a dagger in hand. Palmer's intense expression and posture convey the anguish and despair felt by Bajazet, while Miss Hopkins' portrayal of Selima exudes a mixture of guilt and defiance. The theatrical setting, with its rich costumes and dramatic lighting, adds to the overall atmosphere of the scene, transporting us back in time to the world of Elizabethan theatre. This photograph is a testament to the power of live performance and the ability of actors to bring historical figures and their stories to life on stage. It also offers a unique insight into the world of 18th-century theatre, providing a glimpse into the costumes, sets, and acting styles of the time. Overall, this image is a fascinating piece of historical and theatrical history, showcasing the talent and artistry of the actors and the production team involved in bringing Marlowe's "Tamerlane" to life.
