EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "J Mercer as Red Riding Hood in CWF 1859 Production," offers a glimpse into the rich history of theatrical performances during the Victorian era. The image features the renowned English actor, J Mercer, dressed in the iconic attire of the beloved fairy tale character, Red Riding Hood. Mercer's expressive face and captivating gaze draw the viewer into the enchanting world of the story. The photograph is from a production of Charles W. Feeney's (CWF) 1859 adaptation of the classic fairy tale, "Little Red Riding Hood." Feeney was a prolific playwright and theatre manager who made significant contributions to the popularization of pantomime and burlesque in Victorian England. His productions were known for their elaborate costumes, lively music, and engaging performances, making them a favorite among audiences of all ages. Mercer's portrayal of Red Riding Hood is particularly noteworthy, as the character was often played by male actors in drag during this time period. The photograph captures the moment of transformation, with Mercer's masculine features softened by the flowing red hood and the delicate, feminine dress. This image serves as a reminder of the fluidity of gender roles in Victorian society and the power of theatrical performance to challenge societal norms. The photograph is a rare and valuable document of theatrical history, providing insight into the world of Victorian theatre and the enduring appeal of classic fairy tales. The intricate details of Mercer's costume, the expressive lighting, and the sense of drama in the image make it a captivating work of art in its own right.
