A great cast. I always remember a story about Godot, heard in French or German, which said that Becket's original idea was to have them wearing prisoner uniforms from a concentration camp. I've never been able to think of the play since then without that image.

I didn't know Simon Callow directed the original stage version. Great work!

ps. Here's a quote on Laura Knight's coastal paintings from Sarah Reynolds: "The works depict solitary women looking out across the calm blue expanse of the ocean towards France. There are no men in them because they are all fighting and dying in the trenches. These are deeply psychological works."

ps. For many of his artworks and his 'Anthropometry' body painting soirées (which included a small orchestra and a select audience), Yves Klein used his own special shade of blue paint called "International Klein Blue (IKB)".

ps. The director of this 1975 Hamlet was Buzz Goodbody. She was the first female director at the Royal Shakespeare Company. But she tragically died far too young at the age of 28.
