Reception
Harold Hobson of the Sunday Times described the production as "the admitted master achievement in British twentieth-century theatre" while The New Yorker called it "probably the best 'Vanya' in English we shall ever see".
Later films of noted stage productions by Olivier included Othello (1965) and The Dance of Death (1969).
