EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fortune Theatre, depicted in this evocative 19th century print from Mary Evans Picture Library, was one of the most renowned and earliest Elizabethan playhouses in London. Established around 1600 by Philip Henslowe and Edward Alleyn, the Fortune Theatre stood proudly between Whitecross Street and Golding Lane. This impressive structure was a significant cultural landmark during the Elizabethan era, hosting numerous theatrical productions that showcased the finest plays of the time. The Fortune Theatre was a place where the works of Shakespeare and other great playwrights were brought to life, providing entertainment and inspiration to the people of London and beyond. The theatre's unique design, with its three-sided open-air stage and large yard, allowed for an intimate and immersive theatrical experience. Despite the passage of centuries, this print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the arts flourished in London and the Fortune Theatre was at the heart of the city's cultural scene. The intricate details of the theatre's facade, the surrounding buildings, and the people gathered outside, all contribute to a vivid and captivating image that speaks to the enduring power of the theatre and its ability to transport us to other worlds and times.
