This is one of the great recordings of a great play. John Gielgud stars as Ernest and Edith Evans gives her incomparable performance as Lady Bracknell in this classic radio recording from 1952. Performance styles may have changed, but this is an unmatched production bearing all the hallmarks of outstanding audio drama featuring some of the finest actors of the 20th century. Also included are rare recordings of John Gielgud reading poems by Donne, Shelley, Byron, Kingsley, Rossetti, Tennyson and Shakespeare.
