EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and theatre in one frame. The Red Bull Theatre, built in 1600 by Aaron Holland on St John Street, London, was a prominent open-air playhouse that stood as a symbol of entertainment and culture in Britain. The architecture of the building is truly remarkable, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into its construction.
The image transports us back to 1672 when the Red Bull Theatre was at its peak, with actors and jesters entertaining audiences under the open sky. It's fascinating to think about all the performances that took place within those walls over the years - from Shakespearean plays to comedic sketches.
Sadly, this historical landmark met its demise sometime between 1663-65 when it was demolished. However, through prints like these from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are able to preserve a piece of our past and appreciate the rich history behind buildings like the Red Bull Theatre.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for a time long gone. The Red Bull Theatre may no longer stand tall on St John Street, but its legacy lives on through images like these that capture its beauty and significance in British history.
