Card text:

Faith Brook

Date: 20th September 1971
Theatre: Cambridge
Production: Hamlet
Character: Gertrude
Review: She is a handsome 50 year old, blonde lady, with plenty of style and presence. Went to town with the emotion and showed a rather misplaced sense of comedy with Polonius. She is an actressy actress basically.
Date: 26th June 1984
Theatre: Westminster
Production: Morning’s at Seven
Character: Esther
Review: As the oldest of the four elderly sisters, was fine with acceptable American accent and a nice style and a gentle knowing sense of fun. Around 62 and a striking looking lady, 5’7″.
Date: 12th March 1991
Theatre: Birmingham Rep
Production: Saturday, Sunday, Monday
Character: Aunt Meme
Review: Played the aunt quite effectively although a little old for the part perhaps. She is mid 60s, quite thin and 5’7″.
