Strolling Players Bring Shakespeare to the Riverside Pubs
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph taken in September 1951, we are transported back in time to witness a unique theatrical experience. Two members of The Taverners, a renowned company of strolling players, can be seen on their extraordinary journey along the picturesque Thames River. With the iconic stage play "Twelfth Night" as their production, these talented actors and actresses have embarked on an adventurous mission to entertain pub-goers along the riverbanks. The image captures a moment of respite for our protagonists as they sit together on the boat's deck, taking in the breathtaking view that surrounds them. One actor has his arm affectionately draped around his fellow performer while both gaze out towards their next destination with anticipation. Their full-length stage costumes add an air of authenticity and drama to this snapshot frozen in time. This archival photograph by Thurston Hopkins beautifully encapsulates not only the spirit of theater but also showcases human resilience and creativity during a period marked by post-war recovery. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend boundaries and bring joy even amidst challenging times. As we admire this historical gem, let us appreciate these dedicated artists who brought Shakespearean magic directly into people's lives through their riverside performances – an enchanting fusion of culture and nature that will forever remain etched in our collective memory.
