Inspired my a commenter on one of my previous threads (whose username I’ve forgotten - sorry.)

Admittedly, there are so many, which I’d chose including:

Hedda Gabler and Ghosts (both starring Alla Nazimova - my namesake!)

The Glass Menagerie (staring Laurette Taylor)

Hamlet (staring John Barrymore)

The Lady of the Camellias (staring Sarah Bernhardt)

Little Foxes (staring Tallulah Bankhead)

(And many more)

No way! I cannot express how envious I am... I need to know your thoughts.

The performances and stunts were good! Landing in the middle of the auditorium was pretty impressive. The cast were very good indeed but the musical was forgettable. The only song I remember is ‘bouncing off the walls’ or something like that which was staged with a box like set where he was literally bouncing off the walls lol.

Pretty much everything the Globe theatre had 1599-1613.

Agreed.
