Sir Charles Wyndham (Charles Culverwell) (1837-1919), Actor and theatre manager
Sitter in 23 portraits
Actor and theatre manager. As a young man Wyndham combined acting with medicine. He travelled to America in 1862 to enlist in the Federal army as a medical officer but also appeared onstage. On his return to England in 1865, he dedicated himself solely to the theatre becoming the dashing young hero of Victorian farce. From 1875 he managed the Criterion theatre, from whose profits he built Wyndham's Theatre in 1899 and the New Theatre (later the Albery) in 1903. His record of continuous and simultaneous West End management is without equal and his experience of touring internationally also exceptional.
