Marked for Life

Series producer DAVID CRAIG
Coriolanus
I have come to look upon roles like Coriolanus as theatrical initiations on the grandest scale. A unique master of the art of tragedy takes the actor by the hand and leads him into the circle of a test, which ... will bring him face to face with the physical, mental, and spiritual centres of his 'being'.
Ian Hogg , who played the title role at Stratford ten years ago, presents his personal view of the play and the central character. The BBC Television
Shakespeare production of Coriolanus will be shown next Saturday on BBC2. Producer FRANK WARWICK
Bob Symes , steam enthusiast and amateur cook, deserts his kitchen and sallies forth in search of leisure occupations. The Call of the Wild
