Sir George Alexander, a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th-century British theatre, is renowned for his portrayal of Rudolf Rassendyll in "The Prisoner of Zenda," a play adapted by Robert Brough. The play is based on Anthony Hope's 1894 adventure novel of the same name, which tells the story of an English gentleman who resembles a Ruritanian king and becomes embroiled in a plot to save the kingdom. Alexander's performance in this role is often cited as one of the defining moments of his illustrious career.

Born in Reading, Berkshire, in 1858, Sir George Alexander (born George Alexander Gibb Samson) was an actor-manager who significantly influenced the London theatre scene. He was known for his impeccable style, commanding stage presence, and dedication to the craft of acting. Alexander's tenure as the manager of the St. James's Theatre in London, from 1891 until his death in 1918, saw the production of numerous successful plays, including works by Oscar Wilde and Arthur Wing Pinero.

"The Prisoner of Zenda" premiered at the St. James's Theatre in 1896, with Alexander in the dual role of Rudolf Rassendyll and King Rudolf V. His portrayal of the dashing and heroic Rassendyll captivated audiences and critics alike, solidifying his reputation as one of the leading actors of his time. The play's success was bolstered by Alexander's nuanced performance, which brought depth and charisma to the character, making the story of political intrigue and romance both thrilling and engaging.

Alexander's contribution to the theatre extended beyond his performances; he was instrumental in elevating the standards of production and acting in the West End. His legacy is remembered not only through his memorable roles but also through his commitment to the development of the theatrical arts. Sir George Alexander's portrayal of Rudolf Rassendyll in "The Prisoner of Zenda" remains a significant highlight in the history of British theatre, exemplifying the enduring appeal of classic adventure tales brought to life by exceptional talent.
