EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the first authentic stage production of Thomas Hardy's own dramatic version of his beloved novel, Tess of the d'Urbervilles. The image dates back to November 26, 1924, and was brought to life by the Hardy Players at the Corn Exchange in Dorchester. Gertrude Bugler gracefully portrays Tess Durbeyfield, her expressive eyes and poised demeanor capturing the essence of the resilient and tragic heroine. E.W. Smerdon, with his serious and introspective gaze, embodies the complex character of Angel Clare, while N.J. Atkins masterfully portrays the menacing and manipulative Alec d'Urberville. Hardy himself was involved in the production, ensuring that every detail remained true to the novel's spirit. The 1920s setting adds an intriguing historical context, transporting us back in time to an era of pouncy theatricality and literary innovation. This photograph not only serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Tess of the d'Urbervilles but also highlights the rich theatrical history of Dorchester and the Hardy Players. It is a fascinating reminder of a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the power of literature and the art of storytelling.
