Yorke Stephens

Yorke Stephens (26 September 1862 – 5 February 1937) was an English actor. He acted as an amateur before abandoning the law in favour of the theatre and made his professional début in 1879. He appeared in numerous new plays in the West End, on tour and on Broadway. He created leading roles in two comedies by Bernard Shaw.

After 1900, Stephens produced plays and musicals while continuing to act, though he did not appear in many of the pieces that he presented. He appeared in Charles Wyndham's and Herbert Beerbohm Tree's companies in contemporary and classic plays. His last appearance on stage was in 1923, after which he retired.
