Title: A Speaking Part - Lewis Casson and the Theatre of His Time
Description: London, Hodder and Stoughton. 1982, First Edition. (ISBN: 0340280905). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Very Good+ copy with just a few minor marks to fore edge with VG+ complete dustjacket. In the pantheon of great theatrical marriages of the 20th century Lewis Casson and Sybil Thorndike deserve to rank alongside Olivier and Leigh or Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. Although overshadowed in later life by his wife, in this first biography where Casson rather than Thorndike takes centre stage, the story of Casson is also the story of the British theatre in his time. 14 illustrations. 16. Very Good/Very Good.
