Observations

    Well it is a long time ago, and I was a teenager, but I sure there was a rumour going around that Richard Burton was to reprise this role at the Roundhouse from his OUP production a few years earlier….was it a rumour, or did it actually happen? Certainly, the Roundhouse was trendy enough at the time…was it the only fringe venue in London at the time? Anything could have happened. I saw the play…Paul Newman was in the audience, he was spotted in the bar queue during interval.

    Is there anybody out there who can refute or confirm the facts of whether the great Welshman actually took his Faustus to the Roundhouse and therefore put to rest this tantalising memory or delusion I have.
