An Actor and His Time

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Sir John Glelgud talks to John Miller about his life in the theatre.
3: Those Great Creatures ' Agate said that Mrs Patrick Campbell as Mrs Alving in Ghosts was like " The Lord Mayor's coach with nothing in it". She was so busy being rude to the poor man who played Pastor Manders and who was frightened to death of her and sweated furiously. She used to say, " Oh look at that old man with the sweat pouring onto his stomach ".'
