Hermione Gingold to A. Friend - Read by Louise Brealey & Sophie Hunter

Ойын-сауық

In 1950, English actress Hermione Gingold appeared on stage in London alongside Hermione Baddeley in Fallen Angels, a Noel Coward comedy in which--controversially at the time--the two female leads contemplate adultery. Gingold soon received a threatening letter from a disgusted member of the public. With no address at which to aim a reply, Gingold instead responded with a letter that was reprinted in her 1952 book, My Own Unaided Work.

    This was beautiful. Loo's sarcasm was on point. Am in love with Sophie's voice. The two need to read more letters together.
