EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting Kate Forster in the daring role of Don Juan during the late Victorian era. Forster, a renowned English actress of the 1890s, was a favorite on the Footlights Favourites stage, known for her versatility and ability to captivate audiences with her transformative performances. In this image, Forster masterfully portrays the infamous Don Juan, a notorious womanizer from Spanish folklore, who seduced and abandoned countless women. The young woman, dressed in a stunning, intricately designed costume, exudes confidence and charm as she holds a mandolin, adding a musical element to her performance. The painted backdrop, adorned with lush greenery and romantic landscapes, further enhances the allure of the scene. Cross-dressing was a common practice in the theatre during the late Victorian era, allowing actresses to play a wider range of roles and challenge societal norms. Forster's portrayal of Don Juan, a traditionally male character, showcases her exceptional talent and fearless approach to her craft. The photograph serves as a testament to the power of theatre and the transformative abilities of an exceptional actress. The 1890s were a time of great change and innovation in the world of entertainment, and Forster's performance as Don Juan reflects the excitement and experimentation that characterized the era. This photograph, taken during a rehearsal or performance, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the stage was a place of wonder, magic, and endless possibilities.
