  • The Importance of being earnest.

  • "You mustn't go on playing parts in which you are succeeding. Even if you think you are going to be wildly miscast in something now, have a go. New problems are marvelous, exciting, stimulating."  Judi Dench to Keith Wheatley, Sunday Telegraph, 5th September 1982.

  • Peter Hall and Judi Dench. Photograph by Zoe Dominic.
     


  • Antony and Cleopatra

  • "Tony can totally give the impression of a man who's been through things -- a survivor of battles.  He's extraordinary and perfect to play this part at the moment.   The play is not about a sex symbol.  It's to do with the chemistry between two people -- what this woman has done to this man... if somebody is very attractive and makes you laugh that's real grist to the mill."  Judi Dench to Robert Cushman, London Daily News, 24 February 1987

  • Judi Dench and Antony Hopkins.  Photograph by John Haynes
     


  • The Seagull

  • "There's so much boiling underneath with Chekov, with this little line running along the top, which is what people say...And another thing - Chekov gives everyone a good go, including the servants."  Judi Dench to Duncan Fallowell, Observer, 26th June 1996.

  • Photograph by Richard Mildenhall

 


  • Absolute Hell -- 1995

 


  • A Little Night Music

  • "I only like the process of being a Company. I don't know how I'd get ready, on my own, without the banter. I would hate it. Ideally, I would be at the National all the time...I love walking into the foyer where people are playing music and reading and seeing exhibitions. It's exactly what theatres should be like all the time."  Judi Dench to Valerie Grove, The Times, 22nd September 1995.

  • Photograph by Mark Douet.
