Laughton Delights 2400 With A Night Of Readings

Charles Laughton charmed about 2400 at Memorial Auditorium with readings spanning Nash poems to The Gettysburg Address. He moved between Shakespeare and Dickens using only voice and minimal gesture, delivering scenes from A Midsummer Night's Dream and scenes of a train bound journey from Time and The River. The performer’s quick shifts from grave to playful drew an enthusiastic ovation after an informal Green Room remark about reading a short spell to gauge audience mood.
