	Edmund Kean's Romeo
		Kean in any new character, we do not go in the expectation of seeing either a perfect actor or perfect acting; because this is what we have not yet seen, either in him or in any one else.
		Kean was like a man waiting to receive a message from his mistress through her confidante, not like one who was pouring out his rapturous vows to the idol of his soul.
		Kean is greatest in the conflict of passion, and resistance to his fate, in the opposition of his will, in the keen excitement of his understanding.

		The Kean in question was indeed a real actor--a phrase Sartre would relish; in fact he was the greatest actor of his early-19th-century heyday, a wiry former acrobat whose Shakespearean repertoire was small but apparently astonishing.
		A tireless drinker and philanderer, the actor was eventually forced to flee England on the heels of a scandal involving a politician's wife, a scenario that fuels one of the play's main themes.
		Kean's interpretations of parts like Shylock, Othello and Richard III so knocked the socks off his contemporaries that no less a luminary than Coleridge confessed that "to see Kean act is like reading Shakespeare by flashes of lightning."

		Thus we see Edmund Kean, drunkard, lecher, liar and great actor, amorously pursuing the Danish Ambassador’s wife and whipping himself into ecstasies of jealousy when his friend, the Prince of Wales, pays court to the same lady.
		But the payoff comes later when Kean compares himself to his intended mistress and incipient sovereign: “Beauty, Royalty, Genius—three reflections each believing in the reality of the other two.” All the world, in fact, is a charade.
		Kean is shown preparing to play Romeo at the advanced age of 48: a remarkable feat since he died at 44.

		Considered the greatest Shakespearean actor of his time, he was as well known for his rowdy behavior offstage as he was for his stellar performances onstage.
		The plot of Kean finds the actor juggling two women in his life: the lovely Elena, married to the Danish Ambassador and Anna, a young aspiring actress.
		Originally a vehicle for the late, great musical actor Alfred Drake, Kean is filled with soaring melodies and graceful lyrics that could only come from the pens of Robert Wright and George “Chet” Forrest (Kismet, Magdalena, Anastasia Affaire, Grand Hotel: The Musical).
