Take a journey through the glorious days of radio with these performances by the great masters of the British theatre. Originally broadcast in half-hour episodes during the 1950s as the Theatre Royale, these are the essence of vintage British radio. In this collection, Sir Laurence Olivier performs scenes from Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Markheim and The Suicide Club. Robert Donat performs an excerpt from Sire de Maltroit's Door. 2 cassettes.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
These are rare half-hour dramatizations from 1950's English radio shows: "Jekyll and Hyde," "The Sire de Maletroit's Door," "Markheim"and "The Suicide Club." Crisp, mellifluous performances of lean, intelligent, suspenseful productions make these one-acts particularly enjoyable, despite their superficiality. With feline grace, Olivier hosts the series and plays key part--except in "Door," which features the exciting voice of Donat. Light fun is in store for the discriminating listener. Y.R.
