EDITORS COMMENTS
Mr. John Liston as Tristram Sappy in 'Deaf as a Post' at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, London in the 1820s. In this one-act farce by John Poole, Liston brilliantly portrays the character of Tristram Sappy, a man who feigns deafness to avoid paying his debts. Dressed in a top hat and green jacket, Liston's expressive face and exaggerated gestures add to the comedic effect of the play. The audience can't help but laugh as he dons a pair of oversized ear trumpets and pretends not to hear the pleas of those demanding payment. Liston's costuming is complete with baggy trousers and a cane, adding to the comedic characterization of Tristram Sappy. The Theatre Royal, Haymarket in London was a popular venue for Georgian theatre-goers, and Liston's performances were always a crowd-pleaser. His ability to bring humor and life to the stage made him a beloved actor among his contemporaries and audiences alike. This photograph captures a moment in time, allowing us to appreciate the talent and charisma of Mr. John Liston as Tristram Sappy in 'Deaf as a Post'.
