Description Claire Bloom is one of the world's leading actresses, having starred with such greats as Charlie Chaplin, Richard Burton, Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud.
She's played Juliet, Ophelia, Viola, Miranda and Cordelia at the Old Vic. She's won three major English theatrical awards for her Blanche du Bois in A Streetcar Named Desire. She's won a BAFTA for the best television actress of the year.
But it's not until Claire Bloom stands on stage, alone, her performance stripped to the essence, that you truly appreciate the sheer strength of her talent. No other players, costumes, sets or props.
