Continuum Companion to Twentieth Century Theatre edited by Colin Chambers - biography
Actress who built her reputation after her debut in 1924 with many memorable performances, including Susie in The Silver tassie (1929), Emily Bronte in Wild Decembers (1933) and Lavinia in Mourning becomes Electra (1937). Politically active (she was an active trades unionist who became president of Equity in 1946, Lehmann signed the Communist Party's People's Convention against the Second World War in 1941, which led to her being banned from the BBC. In the Stratford-Upon-Avon 1947-8 season she scored major successes playing Portia, Isabella, Viola and the Nurse. Her versatility cast her in a wide range of plays including Huis Clos (1946) and The Birthday Party (1958). Lehmann brought a powerful brooding presence to the stage, her voice described as being like a "taut violin string". Dan Rebellato.
Vicious Circle Huis Clos
Vicious Circle Huis Clos was performed at the Arts Theatre because it was a private theatre, and therefore the only place where a lesbian character was allowed. I read in Alec Guiness's biography that he wasn't a fan of existential theatre but that he was one of the few cast who believed in the setting.
The cast performed a radio recording of the play which has miraculously survived. I was so pleased to be able to listen to it. It is wonderful to hear Beatrix playing a lesbian character. The whole play is brilliant and well worth a listen. The full thing can be found or downloaded here: https://archive.org/details/NoExithuisClos

I currently own the following Theatre World magazines that have articles/photos of Beatrix
THEATRE WORLD March 1938 Photos and sketches for Mourning Becomes Electra
THEATRE WORLD April 1939 Photos from They Walk Alone
THEATRE WORLD February 1959 Which has photos from Old Vic production of Macbeth
THEATRE WORLD September 1959 Which has photos from the Aspern Papers
They are BRILLIANT and contain many lovely photos of Beatrix. The 1959 ones are particularly great as she's playing a very glamarous Lady Macbeth in February and then an old lady in the Aspern papers a few months later, where her ageing make up makes her look exactly like she did in Stones of Blood.

' This Fabulous Genius'
A portrait of the actor Wilfrid Lawson (1900-1966) Compiled by PETER cotes Narrator HUGH DICKSON
Many people remember Wilfrid Lawson for his definitive Doolittle in the 1938 film version of Bernard Shaw 's Pygmalion. But it was as a stage actor that Lawson truly scaled the pinnacles ofhisart.In1953he ended a long absence from London's West End to appear in a production of Strindberg's The Father. His performance for those who saw it was the experience of a lifetime. The American film and theatre director Joseph Losey , who later worked with Lawson, recalls ' I was bowled over by this fabulous genius '. Other contributors include BRIDGET BOLAND , JOHN BOULT -ING, KEITH DEWHURST , GRACE WYNDHAM GOLDIE, TREVOR HOWARD , BEATRIX LEHMANN. JOAN MILLER , DONALD PLEASENCE and J. C. TREWIN.

The author does not believe King John was a Christian. but that he was influenced by his descent, as a Plantagenet, from Robert the Devil and by the old pagan religion of his Norse forebears. For her. this explains his impiety, his irreverent treatment of the clergy and his refusal to receive the Sacrament, even at his Coronation.

Narration by Beatrix Lehmann
Behind the doors of a large Victorian house a family is locked in conflict. The old father is an unbridled tyrant, the mother is worn out and ill, the children bullied but rebellious.

Cast in order of speaking:
Produced by R. D. SMITH

The title of the play is symbolic for it is taken from the name of a Canadian wild bird whose cry is particularly sad and haunting. Under a sparkle of word-play and a sheen of black comedy, the author unfolds a story of violent and tragic murder-rather after the style of Lizzie Borden—motivated by inherited traits and inescapable fate, in a way that recalls Greek tragedy.
