Golden cover, unnumered pages, b/w illustrations, Excellent conditions. Sir John Gielgud 's Recital. An anthology of William Shakespeare. Selected piece from “The Ages of Man” anthology by George Rylands Sir Arthur John Gielgud (1904 – 2000) Sir Arthur Gielgud was an English actor and theatre director whose career spanned eight decades. With Ralph Richardson and Laurence Olivier, he was one of the trinity of actors who dominated the British stage for much of the 20th century, famous for his voice and his mastery of Shakespearean verse. Regarded by many as the finest Hamlet of his era, and was also known for high comedy roles such as John Worthing in The Importance of Being Earnest. During the 1930s Gielgud was a stage star in the West End and on Broadway, appearing in new works and classics. He began a parallel career as a director, and set up his own company at the Queen's Theatre, London. From the late 1960s he found new plays that suited him, by authors including Alan Bennett, David Storey and Harold Pinter.
