EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a scene from Henry James' new play, "Guy Domville," which premiered at the St. James Theatre in London during the late 1890s. In the image, George Alexander, portraying the titular character, Guy Domville, is seen engaging in a heartfelt conversation with Marion Terby, who plays Mrs. Peverel, in the tranquil garden at Porches. The setting adds an air of intimacy and mystery to the scene, as the two characters delve into the complexities of their relationship. The play, which was written by the renowned American author Henry James, was a critical success and marked a significant moment in the history of English theatre. Guy Domville, a wealthy and enigmatic bachelor, is drawn into a web of intrigue and deception when he becomes involved with the enchanting and manipulative Mrs. Peverel. The play's exploration of themes such as love, deception, and morality resonated with audiences and solidified James' reputation as a master storyteller. George Alexander, a highly respected and accomplished actor of the time, brings depth and nuance to his portrayal of Guy Domville. Marion Terby, as Mrs. Peverel, delivers a compelling performance that leaves audiences on the edge of their seats. The photograph, taken during a rehearsal or performance, offers a glimpse into the world of late 19th-century theatre and the captivating performances that graced the stages of London's most prestigious venues.
