EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Sir Laurence Olivier in the iconic role of Shakespeare's tragic prince, Hamlet, during the historic production staged at the New Theatre in London in 1948. Olivier, a British actor of great renown, brought an unparalleled depth and intensity to the character, which was reflected in both the London and Broadway runs of this groundbreaking production. Dressed in the regal attire of the Danish prince, Olivier's piercing gaze and expressive face convey the turmoil and anguish that Hamlet experiences as he navigates the treacherous waters of betrayal, revenge, and madness. The image is a testament to Olivier's masterful ability to embody the complexities of one of literature's most enduring characters, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of Shakespeare's timeless works. This photograph, taken during the 1948 production, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Olivier's illustrious career and the lasting impact of his interpretation of Hamlet on the world of theatre and beyond.
