Subject: William Shakespeare (British, Stratford-upon-Avon 1564-1616 Stratford-upon-Avon); Edmund Kean (British, 1787-1833); Charles Mayne Young (British, 1777-1856). Date: May 18, 1814.Two tragic actors Edmund Kean and Charles Mayne Young are here satirized struggling to control Shakespeare. Both are dressed as Richard III to indicate their rivalry on the London stage in that part. Behind Kean at left is the Drury Lane Theatre with Covent Garden at right behind Young. The latter's more declamatory style gave him the edge as the city's leading tragedian until Kean's more natural approach took the public's fancy after his 1807 debut.
