New month, new play! The Winter’s Tale…
Here are some images from around web:
A playbill for a production from 1802, with a Barrymore as Polixenes, and Sarah Siddons as Hermione…
A silk playbill from an 1887 production with Mary Anderson as Hermione, Paulina, and Perdita. You’ve got to wonder just how in the hell they performed that last scene.
Here’s a photo of Anderson as Perdita…
…and as Hermione…
…alas, no Paulina…
An artist rendering of Act Five, Scene Three…
and another…
A photograph from an early twentieth century production…

And after the holiday, we move from July to winter…
