💭A leading actor of the day, one Henry Irving, is synonymous with the Lyceum Theatre, having dazzled audiences with a legendary performance in ‘The Bells’ and with his title role in ‘Hamlet’ during 1874. The same year Irving took control of the theatre and ended up managing the venue for the next 21 years. Henry’s ‘Merchant of Venice’ ran for 250 performances during its first Lyceum season.
