Publisher description
The British Library and the Royal Shakespeare Company join forces to publish this remarkable treasury of live Shakespeare recordings. Selected from an extensive collection of recordings made by the British Library Sound Archive, this set offers scenes and speeches from some of the most celebrated Shakespeare productions in the history of the Royal Shakespeare Company. These recordings are being published for the first time.
All 20 tracks have been personally selected by RSC Associate Director Gregory Doran. They cover a period of over four decades of exceptional Shakespeare performances, from Laurence Olivier as Coriolanus in 1959 to Judi Dench in All's Well That Ends Well in 2002. Here are some of the RSC's most celebrated productions--the now legendary Wars of the Roses from 1963, Peter Brook's King Lear with Paul Scofield, and John Barton's Richard II with Richard Pasco and Ian Richardson. Other notable actors included on the CDs are: Peggy Ashcroft, Alan Howard, Derek Jacobi, Ian McKellen, Alan Rickman, Anthony Sher, Donald Sinden, Robert Stephens, Patrick Stewart, Janet Suzman and David Warner. Accompanying the two audio CDs is a 104 page booklet that includes text of the extracts, background notes and production photos. Don't miss out on the opportunity to hear legendary actors in their greatest roles
