Vale the great Glenda Jackson (1936-2023)

We first saw Glenda Jackson as Charlotte Corday in the early 1970s, in Peter Brooks 1967 film of 'The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade'. 

The title is usually shortened to Marat/Sade, after a 1963 play by Peter Weiss. She, the film, the play (we even bought the Peter Weiss script) all impressed greatly. 

Theatre of the Actors of Regard ] TAR ( has its beginnings t/hereabouts.

Jackson quit acting in 1991 to concentrate on politics – she had joined the Labour Party at 16. In 1992 she was elected as a Labour member to the House of Commons in the UK Parliament where she remained for 23 years, before retiring at age 79.
