Reviews
'The successful leading players of today stand on an uneasy bridge between two extremes of theatrical development. Behind us lie the glories of tradition, the grand manner, the star system ... Before us lie the fear of convention and imitation, the demand for novelty, the restless, impatient craving for easy success.' - John Gielgud
'I hate actors who bump into the furniture, or stand where they seem to be goosed by an armchair, or are frightened by tables, beds, lamps, doors and the surroundings in general.' - Hume Cronyn
