Editorial Reviews:
A treat for lovers of classic British drama, this volume of the Theatre Royal anthology series includes lion of the English stage and screen Ralph Richardson performing adaptations of "The Colonel's Lady" by Somerset Maugham and "Half an Hour" by J. M. Barrie. Both stories are moving portraits of marriages, each unhappy, and Richardson puts his versatility to great use playing the two husbands. His dramatic timing is unerring, and he creates a real sense of tension alongside the other classic actors. The inclusion of original music and announcements adds to the delightfully old-fashioned flavor.
