EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures Elizabeth Hartley in the role of Almeyda, the fiery and complex queen from John Dryden's classic play "Don Sebastian," first performed in 1751. Hartley, an accomplished actress of her time, brought depth and nuance to the character, captivating audiences with her portrayal of the passionate and vengeful monarch. The historical context of the play, set in the 16th century, added an extra layer of intrigue and authenticity to Hartley's performance. Born in 1750, Hartley began her acting career in London at a young age and quickly rose to prominence for her talent and versatility. She excelled in both comedic and tragic roles, and her portrayal of Almeyda showcased her ability to embody strong and complex female characters. The image of Hartley as Almeyda is a testament to her skill and the power of her performance. Dryden's "Don Sebastian" is a lesser-known work in the playwright's extensive canon, but it was a popular and successful production during Hartley's time. The play tells the story of Don Sebastian, the King of Portugal, who is captured by the Moors and held captive for several years. When he is finally rescued, he returns to Portugal to find that his wife, Almeyda, has married another man in his absence. Fueled by anger and jealousy, Almeyda plots to kill her husband and usurp the throne. This photograph, taken in the early 19th century, offers a glimpse into the past and the world of Elizabeth Hartley and her remarkable career. It is a reminder of the enduring power of the stage and the ability of an actress to bring a character to life, captivating audiences and leaving a lasting impression.
