Character Fortescue Raised Role Scandal Miss Teazle

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of May Fortescue's portrayal of Lady Teazle in the classic Victorian comedy, School for Scandal. Dating back to the 1890s, this image offers a glimpse into the world of late 19th century theatre and the elegant art of acting. Lady Teazle, a character known for her wit, charm, and cunning, is depicted here in all her glory. Fortescue's expressive face and raised fan convey a sense of mischief and playfulness, while her elegant costume and refined posture exude the sophistication and grace expected of a lady of the theatre. The School for Scandal, a play by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, was a popular choice for the Victorian stage, and Fortescue's performance as Lady Teazle was undoubtedly a highlight. Her ability to bring the character to life, with her quick wit and sharp tongue, would have no doubt left audiences in stitches. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of theatre and the enduring appeal of classic comedies. May Fortescue's portrayal of Lady Teazle remains a testament to the power of acting and the ability of a skilled performer to transport audiences to another world, filled with laughter and entertainment.
