Lord Strange’s Men Troupe Member # 9 (illustrated by Anna Hybsier)

On June 23rd 1593, William Shakespeare and The Lord Strange’s Men acting troupe go to Wilmington, England near The Long Man of Wilmington to perform A Midsummer Night’s Dream for the first time.

This unnamed man is one of the members of Lord Strange’s Men and is waiting to discover which part he is going to be playing for this memorable performance

This actor appears in Sandman # 19, on page 9, in panel 1.

This is a fantastic portrait by Anna. I love the roundness of his face and his delightful expression. He seems very happy and is obviously excited to be a member of the acting troupe.
