Joan Plowright – a leading actress in British theatre’s post-war class revolution

86% Informative
Dame Joan Plowright , who has died aged 95 , was an actress of enormous and wide-ranging talent across a 60-year stage and screen career.
Raised in a middle-class family in Scunthorpe , northern England , her theatrical credentials were already dubious according to snobbish attitudes of the time.
She trained at the Old Vic Theatre School in London , where instruction was classical shaped by William Shakespeare , Henrik Ibsen and Anton Chekhov .
Joan Plowright's career demonstrates that the theatre industry’s progress on diversity is still limited in relation to disability.
She reports first having acute problems with macular degeneration in 1992 , but she continued to act and only announced retirement due to blindness in 2014 .
Advocacy for necessary change around gender and disability as well as race will continue with future generations of actors.
