Description: Ebay Mobile Listing Responsive Template Auction Professional Html Design TapikaStore EZStart Software Theatre Royal Product Description This fine British anthology series, features plays based on the best of literature, films and English theater. Produced in two series, Sir Lawrence Olivier and Sir Ralph Richardson serve as hosts, narrators and many times portray the leading roles. The program apparently was developed as a vehicle to capitalize on Olivier’s name and talent. His career spanned over 50 years and continues into the 21st century, as in 2004, 15 years after his death, he was starring as Dr. Totenkopf in a Hollywood fantasy film titled, Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow. This was accomplished by the producers who selected footage of Lord Olivier from various films and used to create a villainous leader of killer robots in the film. Jude Law, who stars in the film, said film-makers used Olivier because few other actors possessed his authority. Sir Ralph Richardson from 1954 – 1955 played the character of Dr. John Watson in another Harry Alan Towers radio series of Sherlock Holmes stories, which starred Sir John Gielgud as the famous consulting detective. Many fine actors of the British stage and screen were involved in individual episodes of the Theatre Royal series, such as Sir John Gielgud, Robert Morley, Harry Andrews, Muriel Forbes, Robert Donat, and Daphne Maddox. The music was credited to the renown British organist and arranger, Sidney Torch. However much of the same music was also used in other Harry Alan Towers productions on which Torch also worked, such as The Secrets of Scotland Yard, The Black Museum, and The Many Lives of Harry Lime. So how much of it was actually written for this series will probably never be known. Harry Alan Towers produced and directed the show for his Towers of London company for international syndication, at the time in Europe, South Africa and Australia. The episodes included in this distribution are from the initial US run on NBC. However selected episodes were repeated, with a different series opening and close on the ABC Mystery Time series during the late 1950s. The show Theatre Royal remained in active syndication in the United States well up into the 1970s. Many of the copies in circulation today, come from those 1970s repeats where the individual episodes were cut to about 20 minutes. Luckily these cuts were made by the production company and generally do not take away from the actual program enjoyment. This reduced length comes from a combination for factors including removing dated introductory material from the beginning of the early episodes, making time for local stations to include hourly 5 minute newscasts and to insert commercials locally. In conclusion, this series consisted of new radio adaptations of famous, and not so famous stories by some of the best authors in the United States and England. It is the inclusion of some of those little known masterpieces by many familiar authors that gives the series a variety element usually missing in this type of anthology series. Its long syndication run, well into the 70s, proves once again classic stories presented by talented actors never really goes out of style. ╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍ 1 Theatre Royal 53-10-04 (01) Queen of Spades - 29:372 Theatre Royal 53-10-11 (02) The Overcoat - 29:163 Theatre Royal 53-10-18 (03) The Tale - 29:234 Theatre Royal 53-10-25 (04) The Happy Hypocrite - 29:375 Theatre Royal 53-11-01 (05) The Sire de Maletroit's Door - 29:286 Theatre Royal 53-11-07 (06) The Judgement - 29:167 Theatre Royal 53-11-14 (07) The Purse - 29:188 Theatre Royal 53-11-21 (08) La Grande Breteche - 29:319 Theatre Royal 53-11-28 (09) Markheim - 29:2810 Theatre Royal 53-12-19 (11) Zodomirsky's Duel - 28:1211 Theatre Royal 53-12-24 (12) A Christmas Carol - 23:3212 Theatre Royal 53-12-26 (13) The Canterville Ghost - 29:1513 Theatre Royal 54-01-02 (14) The Country of the Blind - 28:5314 Theatre Royal 54-01-16 (16) Little Louise - 29:2715 Theatre Royal 54-01-23 (17) Lord Saville's Crime - 29:0316 Theatre Royal 54-01-30 (18) Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - 29:0117 Theatre Royal 54-02-06 (19) The Case of Bardell vs Pickwick - 18:5218 Theatre Royal 54-02-13 (20) Bartleby - 29:1819 Theatre Royal 54-02-20 (21) The Inspector General - 29:0220 Theatre Royal 54-02-27 (22) The Suicide Club - 29:0621 Theatre Royal 54-03-06 (23) The Outcasts of Poker Flats - 29:1422 Theatre Royal 54-03-13 (24) Mr Micawber's Difficulties - 25:3623 Theatre Royal 54-03-20 (25) The Luck Of Roaring Camp - 28:2424 Theatre Royal 54-03-27 (26) A Tale of Two Cities - 28:0225 Theatre Royal 54-04-11 (28) When Greek Meets Greek - 28:0226 Theatre Royal 54-04-18 (29) The Snow Goose - 27:5327 Theatre Royal 54-04-25 (30) The Colonel's Lady - 18:4328 Theatre Royal 54-05-02 (31) The Black Mate - 27:4129 Theatre Royal 54-05-09 (32) Half an Hour - 26:5330 Theatre Royal 54-05-16 (33) Dr Knock - 28:4631 Theatre Royal 54-05-23 (34) The Aspern Papers - 28:5632 Theatre Royal 54-05-30 (35) My Adventure in Norfolk - 29:1433 Theatre Royal 54-06-06 (36) Private Rooms - 28:5934 Theatre Royal 54-06-16 (37) The Man Who Could Work Miracles - 29:3235 Theatre Royal 54-06-23 (38) The Liar - 28:5636 Theatre Royal 54-06-30 (39) My Uncle Toby - 28:4237 Theatre Royal 54-07-07 (40) Four Meetings - 28:3038 Theatre Royal 54-07-14 (41) A Sentimental Journey - 29:1239 Theatre Royal 54-07-21 (42) Becky Sharpe - Vanity Fair - 29:1140 Theatre Royal 54-07-28 (43) Queen Of Spades - 28:2941 Theatre Royal 54-08-04 (44) The Overcoat - 28:5642 Theatre Royal 54-08-11 (45) The Happy Hypocrite - 29:0043 Theatre Royal 54-08-18 (46) The Sire de Maletroit's Door - 28:5244 Theatre Royal 54-08-25 (47) The Judgement - 29:1445 Theatre Royal 54-09-01 (48) Country Of the Blind - 29:15 Payment Policy We accept payment by any of the following methods: Shipping Policy We offer FREE shipping on all orders!
