About This Item

London: Sidgwick and Jackson, 1975. A near Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket. 253 pages. 12 colour plates and 112 black and white illustrations. In this book Sir John Gielgud tells the story of his life in the theatre, of the plays he starred in, and directed, of the actors and actresses he worked with - from Mrs. Patrick Campbell to Richard Burton - and of the theatres in which he has played - from New York to Rangoon. He also tells of the theatre he knew as a young man, the theatre that was run by the great actor/managers, men like Tree and du Maurier, and of the star actresses whose name alone could fill a theatre - Eleonora Duse, Sarah Bernhardt, and, of course, his own great-aunt, Ellen Terry. With the aid of many photographs from his own collection, he recounts not only his own life, but also a well documented history of the British theatre. **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.9 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE EXTRA SHIPPING COST **** 24. First. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
