EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense and thoughtful gaze of English theatre actor-manager, Lewis Waller (1860-1947), as he portrays Brutus in William Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, Julius Caesar. The image, taken in 1915, showcases Waller's remarkable ability to embody the complexities of the character, a noble and honorable man driven to betrayal and assassination out of a deep-rooted belief in the greater good. Born in London, Waller began his acting career in the late 1870s and quickly rose to prominence, becoming a leading figure in the British theatre scene. He was known for his versatility and his ability to bring depth and nuance to a wide range of roles, from Shakespearean classics to contemporary plays. In this production of Julius Caesar, Waller's portrayal of Brutus was widely acclaimed for its authenticity and emotional resonance. Brutus, a respected Roman senator and close friend of Julius Caesar, leads the conspiracy to assassinate the dictator due to his fear that Caesar's growing power threatens the Roman Republic. The play explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the complexities of political power. This photograph is a testament to Waller's skill as an actor and his dedication to bringing Shakespeare's works to life on the stage. The image captures the intensity and gravity of the character, as well as the passion and commitment of the actor who brought him to life. It is a powerful reminder of the enduring power of Shakespeare's works and the art of live theatre.
