EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of the Private Theatre at Anglesey Castle, where the 5th Marquis of Anglesey, Henry Paget, transformed his castle into a grand stage for his personal theatrical productions. Dating back to 1904, this evocative photograph captures the interior of the Gaiety Theatre, a magnificent space that served as the backdrop for the Marquis's lavish pantomimes and plays. The Marquis, an avid amateur dramatist, spared no expense in creating a luxurious and opulent setting for his theatrical endeavors. The richly decorated stage, adorned with velvet curtains, gilded moldings, and ornate lighting fixtures, speaks to the Marquis's dedication to the art of drama. The plush red velvet seats, arranged in neat rows, suggest the comfortable and indulgent atmosphere that would have greeted the guests and performers alike. The Private Theatre at Anglesey Castle was a labor of love for the Marquis, who took on the role of actor-manager, directing, producing, and performing in his own productions. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the pursuit of artistic expression and the pleasure of entertaining guests were priorities above all else. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a captivating reminder of the Marquis of Anglesey's eccentric and extravagant approach to the world of amateur drama. It invites us to imagine the magic that must have unfolded on this very stage over a century ago.
