Observations
-
Went to see this when in the National Youth Theatre in London in summer 1966. Have always remembered seeing Maggie Smith and Robert Stephens acting together in my youth but didn’t realise what a magnificent cast it was – though for many their time was still to come. I think Derek Jacobi was pretty fresh from the National Youth Theatre. We had a flat in the same building as Barrie Rutter, Malcolm Storry and Tim Dalton – all great company. Long ago and far away.
