Simon Callow CBE – The 2014 Garrick Lecture
David Garrick’s Kingston connections date
from 1754, when he bought the house beside the Thames known ever after
as Garrick’s Villa, and built his Shakespeare Temple, where he would be
famously painted by Zoffany. So, as part of the 2014 Kingston
Connections programme of events, Kingston University and the Rose
Theatre will jointly host an academic conference to celebrate the great
Shakespearean actor and director and commemorate his legacy to the Royal
Borough.
Actor, manager, playwright, versifier, Garrick excelled in many
parts, and was possibly both the most praised and vilified cultural
celebrity of his generation. Authors whose plays he rejected and
performers he did not employ were not sparing in their attacks. “Garrick
and Shakespeare” seeks therefore to focus on his achievements as a
Shakespearean interpreter and impresario, and to re-examine Garrick’s
controversial reputation. ONLINE AUDIO HERE (Backdoor Broadcasting Company discontinued.... now online at the Internet ARchive, ONLINE AUDIO HERE).Introduction by Professor Richard Wilson (Kingston):
