Stage work


Not to lump all his stage work together (individual topics on specific roles are more than welcome), but since fewer of us have been lucky enough to see him live on the stage than have had a chance to see his films, here's a general topic for discussing his work on the stage. If you're one of those lucky few, please tell us all about it!

Re: Stage work


One of my Christmas presents to myself was a copy of Theatre World magazine featuring The Wind of Heaven and with Emlyn on the cover. There is a several page article about the play and several pictures from performances.

These magazines might not be worth it to someone who doesn't get a kick out of old Ovaltine ads, but it is probably the closest one can get to seeing his stage career without having been there.

Yes, back when I used to have an eBay account (now they won't even let you sign up without giving them all your financial info), I gleaned from all those theatre magazines what a huge star Emlyn was on the London stage in those days!
