EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting moment from the 1907-8 season of William Shakespeare's timeless comedy, "As You Like It," at His Majesty's Theatre in London. The image features the renowned actors Oscar Asche and Lily Brayton, who brought Rosalind and Orlando to life on stage. Known for their exceptional performances, they also graced the His Majesty's stage in productions of "Othello," "The Taming of the Shrew," and "Attila" by Laurence Binyon. Charles Buchel, Herbert Tree's first-choice poster artist for His Majesty's Theatre, brilliantly captured the essence of this production. The Edwardian era came alive as the audience was transported to the Forest of Arden, where Rosalind, disguised as a boy, falls in love with Orlando. The play's themes of cross-dressing, disguise, and gender fluidity were groundbreaking for the time, adding to the allure of this beloved comedy. As you gaze at this photograph, imagine the magic that unfolded on the stage, the laughter, the tears, and the unforgettable moments that made "As You Like It" a must-see production of the 1900s. The image serves as a testament to the power of live theatre, the artistry of the performers, and the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's works.
