Drama for everyone!

The most severe of A.T.V.’s critics have found it difficult to say hard words about the plays. Whether ‘live’ or filmed they have maintained a very high standard throughout. The parade of stars has been most impressive and varied. Actors and actresses of the calibre of Eric Portman, Flora Robson, Dame Edith Evans, Roger Livesey, Barbara Kelly, Bernard Braden, Helen Haye [sic – Hayes], James Donald, Nora Swinburne, Dorothy Tutin, and Elisabeth Welch, have appeared in the A.T.V. drama series.

The plays have included many which have run successfully in London and, in some instances on Broadway too.

The best plays, the best actors, the best producers — that is the aim of A.T.V. when presenting drama, with the intention that a high level will always be achieved and maintained.
