Sir Alec Guinness’ commanding performance as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars secured his fame for future generations. Yet after a distinguished career as one of Britain’s greatest actors, the double-Oscar-winning star of over 70 films feared he would only be remembered as a Jedi Knight.
Two Halves of Guinness reveals a mysterious life story worthy of the darkest Ealing Comedies, revisiting his most memorable characters and encountering a galaxy of stars along the way.
Zeb Soanes (Classic FM, BBC Radio 4) stars as Alec Guinness in a play written by Mark Burgess and directed by Selina Cadell (Eddie Izzard’s Great Expectations, Hamlet; Miles Jupp in The Life I Lead).
This production of Two Halves of Guinness marks the 25th anniversary of Sir Alec Guinness’ death.
Production photos have been released for Two Halves of Guinness, the solo play celebrating the life and career of Sir Alec Guinness, starring Zeb Soanes. The production is currently touring the UK.
