Edwin Booth's Breakthrough as Richard III at Eighteen
A vivid reminiscence recalls Edwin Booth stepping in as Richard III at the National Theater New York in 1851 after his father’s absence. The sixteen to eighteen year old performed with notable poise, earning the Baltimore stock company engagement and foreshadowing his later fame. The piece contrasts his early devotion to his father Judus Brutus Booth the elder with the boy’s initial stage triumphs.
