For no reason I can articulate that would be flattering to myself as a person, I seem to get real excited whenever Turner Classic Movies finds something to show from the seventies that I've never even heard of, let alone seen before. This last happened almost six months ago with Robert Mulligan's The Pursuit of Happiness , and last night it happened again with Chandler (1971)) , a rare starring vehicle...

I recommend reading funny plays out loud together. We only read the first few pages but the whole ‘small Aunt Cecily, who lives at Tunbridge Wells’ exchange cheered me up enormously. Flo, who isn’t familiar with ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ still has the pleasure of my Dame Edith Evans impression to listen to when we resume reading the rest of the play. Much more...

Comedians Marcus Brigstocke, Jeremy Dyson and Matt Lucas are all trying their hand at a bit of straight, non-funny acting – and they're not the only ones. But have the standups got what it takes? The School for Scandal, Sheridan's comedy of manners, has an illustrious stage history. John Gielgud has starred in it, as have Dame Edith Evans, Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. But in the version...

Lady Bracknell: Now German sounds a thoroughly respectable language and indeed, I beliieve, is so. Yes - wretched self-indulgence. I bought the Criterion Collection edition. Dame Edith Evans delivering the above line was worth it all. But for me Joan...

I've done this as a separate blog so it doesn't get lost in my drivel . My friend Alan , who is a broadcaster on National Radio , has started a new website for children called The Story Mouse . He and some friends have recorded some traditional fairy stories for the little ones to listen to . The stories can be downloaded to the computer and then copied onto a CD or MP3 player to listen to anywhere...

The finest two words in British literature/film; Edith Evans as Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest.

Venerable New York Times reporter Edith Evans Asbury wrote in 1955 of the trials of the aged, a prescient reminder of how little has changed.

The New York Times published a very nice obituary on Friday for Edith Evans Asbury, who died last week at her Greenwich Village home. Asbury’s career spanned six decades, and brought her face-to-face with some of the most influential people of the 20th century. It is as a relative footnote, then, that we mention a [...]

Ms. Asbury covered hard news in an era when most of her female colleagues were consigned to writing about white-gloved society luncheons.

It must be the zeitgeist: if you're missing the current National Theatre School production of The Importance of Being Earnest you can catch the McGill production of the same play next month instead. (Failing which, just screen the old Michael Redgrave-Edith Evans version from 1952 , a perfect camp confection.)
