EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of actors in historical costume, brought to life on the Shakespearean stage during the 1960s. The image, taken circa 1962, showcases a group of dedicated performers fully immersed in their roles, transporting the audience to the medieval world of the Bard's plays. In the foreground, a jester, with his colorful attire and expressive face, adds a touch of humor and lightness to the scene. Behind him, a man in regal attire, possibly a king or nobleman, sits on a throne, his expression serious and contemplative. A woman in elegant gown and veil, perhaps a queen or lady, kneels before him, her hands folded in supplication. To the side, other actors, both men and women, are seated or standing, each lost in their own character, waiting for their cue to enter the scene. The open door in the background hints at the vastness of the stage and the many stories yet to be told. This photograph, from The Peter Keating Aviation Photograph Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the world of Shakespearean theatre during the 1960s, a time when the art of live performance continued to captivate and inspire audiences.
