| Content and context |
Review of Landscape with Figures, cut from newspaper, not very favourable. The play, performed at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle, involve some "crude melodrama" although witty at places. Sir Donald Wolfit brings "characteristic power and command" ; the performances of Christine Finn and Ann Firbank are also praised. The main interest remains Beaton's décor. |
