  • Just a lovely listen to a wonderful lady.

    Who listens to a 101 year old lady? You’ll be glad you did. Lovingly produced and a wonderful contribution to posterity. She was an archive for sure, but more a treasure chest for anyone who loves the theatre.

  • Lovely...

    What a wonderful discovery. Ms. Ida Schuster is charming and tells some great stories from her 101 years of life (and counting!). Marvelous glimpses of a bygone day in Glasgow, Scotland, and her life as an actor growing up in Glascow's Jewish community. Savor it!
