John Gielgud was born on 14 April 1904. To mark his centenary and the publication of Gielguds Letters, this is the first reading of his frank and enthralling correspondence which gives a vivid picture of his life, and views of Olivier, Redgrave, Ashcroft, Evans and Hitchcock amongst others. He wrote almost every day, beginning in the 1920s with letters to his mother and continuing until a few days before his death in 2000.
