Editorial reviews

On this lovingly restored and remastered third volume of Classic English and Irish Dramas, the legendary British actor Sir Laurence Olivier regales listeners with stellar performances in two Theatre Royal dramatizations of stories by the stupendous writer Oscar Wilde. In "The Canterville Ghost", Olivier displays his comedic side as a spirit who fails to frighten the family whom he is haunting. The consummate thespian then beguiles as the title character in "Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime", a madcap romp featuring a cast of eccentric high-society characters.
