Over het werk
Pen and ink sketch created for publication in a magazine/newspaper, probably The Sketch. The illustration has been signed by the artist, R. Le Quesne in the bottom right hand corner and annotation on the rear suggests it dates from 1897.
It shows a scene from the Oxford University Dramatic Society's production of The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare (1564-1616) with Miss Marion Morris as Katharina, Mr. Philip Comyns Carr (son of the costume designer Alice Comyns Carr (1850-1927) and the critic and writer Joseph Coymns Carr (1842-1916)) as Petruchio,and Mr. A.R. Mackintosh as Grumio.
The Oxford University Dramatic Society was founded in 1885 by Alec MacKinnon. Many famous actors have performed in the productions funded by this body and John Gielgud (1904-2000) made his directing debut at OUDS in 1932 with a production of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
