EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the theatrical brilliance of the Haymarket Theatre production of Shakespeare's Hamlet, with its premiere set for Thursday. The image features two of the most renowned actors of the 1920s, Miss Constance Collier as the Queen and Mr. John Barrymore, the celebrated American actor-manager, in the title role. John Barrymore, who made his first London appearance in 1905 at the Comedy Theatre, brings his extraordinary talent to the melancholic and introspective Danish prince. Known for his magnetic stage presence and charisma, Barrymore's portrayal of Hamlet is sure to leave audiences enthralled. In this image, the Queen, played by the elegant and accomplished Constance Collier, gazes intently at Hamlet, her expression a mix of concern and curiosity. Collier, a respected actress of the time, adds depth and nuance to her regal character, making for a memorable performance. Completing the trio is Miss Fay Compton, who takes on the role of Ophelia. With her expressive eyes and delicate features, Compton perfectly captures the fragility and madness of the character, adding an emotional depth to the production. The Haymarket Theatre production of Hamlet, with its talented cast and timeless story, promises to be a theatrical experience not to be missed. This photograph serves as a glimpse into the magic that awaits audiences at the theatre.
