Reception
Harold Hobson of the Sunday Times described the production as "the admitted master achievement in British twentieth-century theatre" while The New Yorker called it "probably the best 'Vanya' in English we shall ever see".[1]
Later films of noted stage productions by Olivier included Othello (1965) and The Dance of Death (1969).
