Here is a documentary about the British National Youth Theatre’s production of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus in the summer of 1964, ultimately playing at the Queens’ Theatre in London’s West End.

This was my first year (of 4) with the NYT. I was 17. I played Coriolanus’ bodyguard with 2 spoken lines! I was also in the live BBC Tv broadcast of this production from Chichester Festival Theatre in Spring 1965. (My second year with the NYT I played Agrippa in Anthony & Cleopatra starring Helen Mirren as Cleo, at The Old Vic).

There are a few glimpses of me in the documentary and, just in case you might be interested, I have noted the time on the film where they appear with screen shots below. You may also catch sight of Timothy Dalton (James Bond) and David Suchet (the seminal Poirot).
