  British Actor & Surgeon in Lincoln's Army
It should be explained that Wyndham, born Charles Culverwell at Liverpool in 1837, studied medicine in London, Dublin and Germany, becoming a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1857 and a Doctor of medicine at the University of Giessen in 1859.
Before attempting to piece together Wyndham's chequered military and theatrical career during those two years, it should be explained that 'contract surgeons' in the Federal Army were entitled to sign, resign, and re-sign at choice, and that Wyndham repeatedly chose all three courses.
Wyndham was initially ordered to the Washington area but within a few months was transferred to St Louis, Mo. A few weeks later he had 'had his contract suspended on account of his wife coming out from England and being near her accouchement'.

 Vincent in Brixton, a CurtainUp London review
As Lizzie Loveridge pointed out when she saw it at the tiny Cottesloe, her experience was enhanced by the closeness between actors and audience and that a transfer would need to incorporate this effect.
The Golden is hardly a behemoth and the smells of the real food being sliced and diced and simmered (meat instead of the fish which Lizzie tells me originally accompanied the potatoes) wafts its way all the way to the last rows of the orchestra.
Nicholas Wright's imaginative reconstruction of Van Gogh's early years leaves the modernist rigours of the Cottesloe to be framed by the decorative splendours of a Victorian proscenium.
