| Abstract/Description |
The 23 press albums were compiled by/for Wolfit, and give a comprehensive account of his stage work through press notices/programmes from 1921 to 1967. The pre- Second World War volumes include his work at the Old Vic (1929-30), West End and Stratford-upon-Avon, where he played Antony and King Lear in Komisarjevsky’s productions of Antony and Cleopatra (1936) and King Lear (1937). They also cover productions by his own Shakespearian company in association with Phyllis Neilson Terry. The war years are well documented with reference to provincial and ENSA tours, and the celebrated St James’ seasons in London in 1942-43 which saw Donald Wolfit’s celebrated King Lear. |
