Artifacts

Well of course this is my most renowned role. LadyMacbeth in Shakespeare's Macbeth.  On the left you can see a portrait of myself in my Lady Macbeth attire.

Our second artifact is a sketch of my beloved Bath Theatre. This theatre was where I spent some of my down time in the performing arts.

 Next we have a view of the Brecon, Wales mountains. Brecon, Wales was where I was born and spent a decent amount of my childhood. It is very dear to my heart, that is for sure.

 This artifact is a painting of the Drury Lane Theatre. This theatre is where I performed my lovely roles of both Lady Macbeth and Queen Catherine.


 This artifact is a portrait of myself in my later years, after my second child.

 This is your present London. Now I'm sure you have a variety of theatre's and many auditions. But back then-

 Ah this is what I remember. Starving artists clouding the streets begging for money just to make it through an audition. It was dirty and crowded, but now I see it is beautiful and clean.

This is one of many covers of the play Henry VIII which I was so fortunant to be apart of.

 This portrait is of me in my much younger days. I love the innocence that haunts my eyes!


 Our last artifact is of my all time favortie playwrite Mr. William Shakespeare.

    Ciao a tutti [Hello there] Sarah. It was fascinating reading your blog. You stated that your father, Roger Kemble, was an actor-manager who had his own traveling company. I was pondering, while you were an actress did you join his theater company? I can imagine he would of been thrilled to have such a talented actress for a daughter. In addition, the portrait of you from your younger days, I must say is exceptionally divine. I completly agree with you, innocence haunts your eyes. You must of been a very alluring young lady. Furthermore I must tell you, I adore Shakespeare. My favorite play was the Tempest, but I still very much relished MacBeth. It would please me greatly to see you preform your famous role of Lady MacBeth. Arrivederci [good bye], I must be on my way, till next time.
