EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the charm and wit of Robert Loraine as he brings the iconic character of Cyrano de Bergerac to life on the stage of London's Apollo Theatre, located on Shaftesbury Avenue. Dating back to the early 20th century, this production of Edmond Rostand's classic play was a major success, with Loraine's performance as the large-nosed, poetic, and lovestruck Cyrano earning critical acclaim. Cyrano de Bergerac is a complex character, known for his eloquence, bravery, and self-consciousness about his large nose. In this production, Loraine masterfully portrays the character's comedic and dramatic moments, captivating audiences with his expressive facial expressions and powerful voice. The photograph shows Loraine in full costume, with a quill pen in hand and a thoughtful expression on his face, embodying the intellectual and passionate nature of Cyrano. The Apollo Theatre, which opened in 1901, was a popular venue for major productions in London's West End. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of live theatre and the enduring appeal of classic plays, as well as the talent and charisma of Robert Loraine as a performer. The photograph also highlights the collaborative nature of theatre, with Charles Buchanan, the man behind the camera, capturing a moment of artistry and creativity that continues to inspire and entertain generations of audiences.
