- Summary
- Actress Irene Worth presents a biographical portrait of the actress Ellen Terry (1847-1928) through readings from Ms. Terry's autobiography, emphasizing her troubled emotional life, her professional association with Sir Henry Irving in Hamlet and other plays, and her impressions of prominent literary, political, and theatrical personalities of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, including Lord Tennyson, Prime Minister William Gladstone, her son Gordon Craig, and others. Ms. Worth supplements this material with excerpts from the writings of Ms. Terry's great-nephew John Gielgud and other contemporaries, and also supplies observations and interpretations of her own.
