CloseIrritable, generous, depressive yet hilarious: meet Samuel Johnson – poet, essayist, compiler of the first English dictionary. This evening of anecdotes and witty conversation brings to life one of the most colourful figures of the eighteenth century.
In a charming two-hander, Ian Redford plays the eponymous Johnson and Russell Barr plays a host of characters, from biographer James Boswell and painter Joshua Reynolds to the society hostess who was Johnson’s final, unrequited love.
“Ian Redford is as close to the real Dr Johnson as one could ever hope to see onstage.” Time Out on A Laughing Matter
