A programme fer the Bicentenary of the death of David Garrick
420 January 1779)
For three days in September 1769 the King of English Theatre master-minded the Shakespeare Jubilee at Stratford-upon-Avon in a storm of publicity, praise and detraction.
A Jubilee, as it hath lately appeared, is a public invitation to go to an obscure borough to celebrate a great poet whose own works have made him immortal, by an ode without poetry, music without harmony, dinner without victuals and lodging without bed...... (SAMUEL FOOTE) For all its splendid chaos, the Shakespeare Jubilee put Stratford on the map; and Garrick's s near-disaster became a personal triumph when he re-staged its golden moments at Drury Lane. He probably did more than anybody else to bring Shakespeare to the people. Today's programme recreates a remarkable occasion from copious eye-witness accounts. with Edward Kelsey as Narrator
Gabriel Woolf as David Garrick and various contemporaries recreated by KATHERINE PARR , GORDON GARDNER. HAYDN JONES, EDWARD MCCARTHY , CLIFFORD NORGATE, GORDON REID and JAMES THOMASON.
