Last five observations
- To production of An Enemy of the People, by Henrik Ibsen, Young Vic, London, 1988: ““I remember the production with great affection as I learnt a great deal from understudying Tom Wilkinson and it was my first West End production.” – Harry Miller, private correspondence”
- To production of The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde, Little Theatre, Bristol, 1963 - 1964: “Looking at http://www.calmview2.eu/BristolTheatreArchive/CalmView/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Performance&id=5149 all the archive material is from September 1963, so I would guess the November 1963 date.”
- To Bristol Old Vic Theatre Company and National Theatre production of Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Birmingham Repertory Theatre, and other locations, 10th February 2014 - 21st October 2017: “The National streamed this live from 9–16th April 2020.”
- To Birmingham Repertory Theatre and Made at Curve production of The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde, Birmingham Repertory Theatre and Curve Theatre, Leicester, 9th September - 29th October 2016: “Archive recording put online April 2020: https://www.curveonline.co.uk/news/watch-our-archive-recording-of-the-importance-of-being-earnest/”
- To James P. Sherwood production of Dial 'M' for Murder, by Frederick Knott, Plymouth Theatre, New York, 29th October 1952 - 1953: ““original and remarkably good theatre—quiet in style but tingling with excitement underneath” – New York Times review, 30th October 1952.”
