Andrew Scott breathing life into an amazing, colourful and wonderful speech that still holds ressonance today. Choice five, what a hard, difficult and brilliant choice, something we all hope we might choose, have chosen and yet...have we? It's so easy to slip into the easier patterns and there's nothing wrong with that but...what a target to have, a path to take, a trial to run...something not to dream of but to do.

Edith Sampson, what a woman.

Choose One of Five — Figures of Speech

by Edith Sampson read by Andrew Scott

Thank you Almeida Theatre... This is outstanding .

And I can't stop thinking about which way I had chosen in my life. I wish it would be No 5. But I'm afraid, I did not.

Well, at least I'm far away from choice 1 or 4.
