Studio Hero
Our rehearsal studios are named in honour of people we consider heroes from theatre history. Each studio features a mural of the hero its named after, painted by Will Dawkins.
Studio Sarah is named after the woman once described as ‘the greatest actress in the world’, Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923).
-
(1844-1923)
One night, at the climax of a production of La Tosca, the woman celebrated as ‘the greatest actress in the world’ threw herself from the parapet of Sant’Angelo prison, but there was no mattress beneath to break her fall. Sarah Bernhardt’s right knee never recovered. For the next nine years Bernhardt lived and worked with chronic pain until, by 1915, it became so agonizing that she resolved to have the leg amputated. Reassuring admirers that it wouldn’t halt her career, she insisted, ‘In case of necessity, I shall have myself strapped to the furniture.’ And she did.
Dissatisfied with the prosthetic technology of the time, Bernhardt devised several alternatives, most notably a sumptuous white sedan chair which stagehands would use to carry her on and off the stage. Each theatrical production, film, and tour she would then embark on, including a tour of the front line to entertain the French troops, placed Bernhardt’s access requirements and autonomy at its centre.
