EDITORS COMMENTS
Ada Rehan: The Irish-American Comedienne who Captivated Nineteenth-Century Audiences as Lady Teazle in The School for Scandal Ada Rehan (1857-1916), an Irish-born American actress, is renowned as one of the greatest comediennes of the late nineteenth century. In this photograph, Rehan is depicted in the role of Lady Teazle from Richard Brinsley Sheridan's classic comedy, The School for Scandal. The image, taken in 1899, showcases Rehan's extraordinary talent for the "personality" style of acting that dominated the theatrical landscape of the era. Born in Dublin, Ireland, Rehan's family immigrated to the United States when she was just a child. She began her acting career in the 1870s and quickly rose to prominence, becoming a staple of the American stage. Rehan's ability to fully embody her characters, combined with her natural comedic timing and charisma, made her a favorite among audiences. In The School for Scandal, Rehan donned the extravagant costumes and wigs of the eighteenth century, transforming herself into the flirtatious and manipulative Lady Teazle. Her portrayal of the character was a sensation, with critics and audiences alike praising her performance. The photograph captures the essence of her portrayal, with her expressive face, exaggerated posture, and ornate costume all contributing to the larger-than-life persona of Lady Teazle. The 1890s were a golden age for the American theatre, and Rehan was at the forefront of this cultural movement. Her influence on the stage extended beyond her performances, as she was also an advocate for women's rights and a champion of new plays and playwrights. This photograph, taken late in her career, serves as a testament to her enduring legacy as a trailblazing actress and a beloved figure in the world of nineteenth-century theatre.
