Theatre - Arena

The first episode of Arena, from 1975. The director Ronald Eyre looks selectively and critically at what's coming on, or doing well, and recommends his own personal 'best buy'.

Kenneth Tynan talks to Laurence Olivier about Lilian Baylis, the eccentric founder of The Old Vic, and there is also a film about David Hockney's sets for The Rake's Progress, now on tour after its success at Glyndebourne.
