Creative Arts Television: Filmed and videotaped arts footage from 1950 to date.
Roy Dotrice performs excerpts from his one-man show "Brief Lives", based on the diaries of John Aubrey, 17th century wit, gossip, antiquarian and writer. "Brief Lives" had two good runs on Broadway in the 60’s and 70’s. Here is Aubrey at the end of his life, an old man in a room cluttered with his collections, recalling Elizabethan customs, personalities and folklore and what the objects he has carefully saved tell about the past. It is a monologue with lots of stage business; funny, informative, and touching. Aubrey (1626-1697) was well educated and made it his business to know and write about the eminent men of his time. Yet he died unknown and his “Lives” was not even discovered for another century. 1974. |
