In an exceptional exploration of one of Britain’s greatest actors, Zeb Soanes brings the life of Sir Alec Guinness to stage across the UK, marking the 25th anniversary of his death.

With nearly 70 plays, 50 films, over a dozen television dramas, and two Oscars to his name, Sir Alec Guinness’ career spanned Shakespeare, the beloved Ealing comedies, and Hollywood classics. Yet he feared he would only be remembered for one role: Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars.

Two Halves of Guinness is a witty, heartfelt tour through Guinness’ extraordinary life and career - his encounters with John Gielgud, Shakespeare, and the galaxy of stage and screen stars who shaped his journey.
