Sunday Night Playhouse - A Tale of Two Cities (Charles Dickens, Sir Lawrence Olivier)
This Sunday on Vintage Classic Radio's "Sunday Night Playhouse," we present a timeless episode from the "Theatre Royal" radio show: Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities," originally broadcast on March 27th, 1954.
This classic adaptation stars the legendary Sir Lawrence Olivier, who brings to life Dickens' powerful story of sacrifice, love, and revolution set against the backdrop of the French Revolution. In this dramatization, Olivier portrays the complex and noble character of Sydney Carton, whose ultimate act of selflessness defines the story. Joining him in the cast are a stellar ensemble of radio actors, including Harry Andrews, who plays Charles Darnay, and Belle Chrystall, who lends her voice to the role of Lucie Manette. Supporting performances come from actors such as Carleton Hobbs as Dr. Manette and Hugh Manning as Monsieur Defarge, with additional cast members completing the rich tapestry of characters that Dickens crafted.
Tune into Vintage Classic Radio's "Sunday Night Playhouse" for a remarkable evening of classic literature brought to life by the incomparable talent of Sir Lawrence Olivier and his esteemed cast.
