About the show

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.
