My retroblogger Frances Williams Wynn (whose site hasn’t moved) is today commenting on watching Charles Kemble – an elderly Charles Kemble – performing Hamlet.
This site says that by the time Miss Williams Wynn was watching, he had been saved from bankruptcy by his daughter Fanny going on the stage. He was the sister of Sarah Siddons, on whom Miss Williams Wynn has also delivered her verdict.
Some links: Images of Kemble at the National Portrait Gallery; a playbill of a Macbeth production in which he played Malcolm.
Today, of course, Hamlets are getting younger all the time.
