1887 1894 Drama Renard Suzanne Version Carotte
EDITORS COMMENTS
Poil de Carotte" or "Red Beard" is a captivating historical drama that first graced the stages of Paris in 1894, based on the eponymous novel by Jules Lermina published in 1887. This evocative image from Mary Evans Prints Online depicts Suzanne Despres in the title role of the play, which later inspired numerous adaptations and translations around the world. Set in the late 19th century, the story follows Suzanne, a young and beautiful woman, who falls in love with Renard, a notorious bandit and the eponymous "Red Beard." Despite the disapproval of her father, a wealthy landowner, and the warnings of her friends, Suzanne's love for Renard remains unwavering. The couple elopes, but their happiness is short-lived as Renard is eventually captured and sentenced to death. In this photograph, Suzanne Despres exudes a sense of determination and passion as she gazes intently into the distance, her red hair cascading down her shoulders. Her expressive face and the richly textured fabric of her dress transport us back to the Parisian theaters of the late 1800s, where this compelling tale of love and sacrifice unfolded on stage. The success of "Poil de Carotte" was a testament to the enduring appeal of the classic love story, with its themes of passion, rebellion, and the power of love to transcend societal norms. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich literary and theatrical history that continues to captivate audiences more than a century after its initial publication. This photograph, taken around 1910, offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing us with a tangible connection to the history of this beloved drama and the woman who brought Suzanne Despres to life on stage.
