I just happened to google "King Lear" 1963, as this was the play we did for "A" Level English Literature. Up popped an advert on eBay for the programme. It was also for the production in London at the Aldwych Theatre that followed the run at Stratford.
We went as a group from sixth form to see a performance at the Aldwych, probably a matinee. It was the only time I saw Paul Schofield on stage, and it still ranks as one of the best Lear's ever. What I didn't remember was a young 24 year old Diana Rigg playing Cordelia, and lately appearing as Becky's mother in Detectorists.
