Overview

This is one of the great recordings of a great play. John Gielgud stars as Earnest and Edith Evans gives her indomitable performance as Lady Bracknell in this classic radio recording from 1951. Performance styles may have changed, but this is an unmatched production bearing all the hallmarks of outstanding audio drama featuring some of the finest actors of the 20th century. Also included are two collections of poetry readings by John Gielgud and Edith Evans.

A Silly Story

Written by Jason Bailey on October 17th, 2006

  • Book Rating: 3/5

This is done in the classic radio drama style with several actors used. It seems well done. I found the story to be entirely silly...more "Whose on First" than "Portrait of Dorian Gray," but it helped me pass the time.
