EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the Mary Evans Picture Library, we witness a pivotal moment in Scottish theatrical history as Barry, played by Ann Spranger, delivers the Prologue to John Hone's highly successful production of Douglas in Edinburgh's Theatre Royal in 1734. The atmosphere is electric, with the packed audience hanging on every word. The Prologue, a spoken introduction to the play, sets the tone and prepares the audience for what they are about to experience. In this instance, Barry's eloquent delivery leaves the audience in awe, one theatregoer even exclaiming, "Waurs your Willy Shakespeare noo?" - a comment that speaks to the high regard in which Hone's work was held, and the influence of the Bard of Avon on Scottish theatre. The year was 1734, a time when Scottish theatre was flourishing, and Hone's Douglas was one of the most successful productions of the era. The play, an adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's historical novel of the same name, told the story of the 15th-century Scottish rebellion against English rule. The production's success can be attributed to its compelling storyline, masterful acting, and the undeniable talent of Ann Spranger as Barry, who brought the Prologue to life with her powerful voice and commanding presence. This photograph, taken in 1801, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Scottish theatre was at the height of its creative prowess. The image stands as a testament to the enduring power of live performance and the ability of a skilled actor to captivate an audience, leaving them asking, "Is this as good as Shakespeare?
