I will never forget seeing Maggie Smith, Jeremy Brett, Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn starring in a production of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Stratford Shakespearean Festival in beautiful Stratford, Ontario, Canada. I was so mesmerized by their performances, that I went back and saw the production four more times. ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️
Saw both the play and Dame Maggie win this award - I have always said watching her performance in Lettice & Lovage was the single greatest night I have EVER spent in the theatre!! She was magnificent - that this show does not exist in either audio or video is a travesty
I saw this play back in London in 1987. I so loved it, and the next day walking down the Haymarket looking for a matinee because I had some time, who did I see but Margaret Tyzack also looking for a matinee. I never approach celebrities but how could I not this time? She was so charming, so kind....I love both of these women.
There is a videorecording of the show. But its use it is restricted for specific users (imagine that you are wrting a book about Peter Shaffer for example) Many shows are taped for the NY Public library using a single camera and with no credits. So if you ask for permission and you are lucky maybe you can watch this wonderful play www.nypl.org/about/divisions/theatre-film-and-tape-archive
One of those nights in the theater that you walked out invigorated after watching her, Margaret Tyzack and Paxton Whitehead. You didn't want it to end.

I saw the play as well. Maggie and Margaret were wonderful!
I saw it too, and would agree with you - UNTIL I saw Diana Rigg as Medea. Unforgettable.

I love Maggie Smith. For me , no film of her is bad. I always love her acting.
Wonderful actress!
Jessica and Maggie together!
Wonder actress.......
Wow! She’s really pretty here!
"I know it's out of fashion and we're not meant to do that." - Now, thanks to your post of Tyne Daly's speech, I know what this line refers to. :)
I saw this play in London in 1988. I remember seeing it but I couldn't tell you one thing about it.

At least there is this brief clip of the actual performance on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/LDRyHYDH7xI/видео.html
Is Maggie related to the Redgrave Family ?
They all look terrified!
Maggie towers over Jessica Tandy. She must be tiny.
