OTD in early British television: 25 September 1938
John Wyver writes: The evening of Sunday 25 September was mostly taken over by the 2 hour-plus reprise of Luigi Pirandello’s Henry IV, originally produced in March by the innovative producer Dallas Bower. As before, Ernest Milton took the title role, with Cecily Byrne as Marchioness Matilda Spina and Valerie Hobson playing Frida, her daughter.
I wrote a previous post about the production and responses to it, which I am happy to link to here:
