Brian Cox trains the Soviet Union's young actors (1988)

In March 1988, ITN went to the Russian capital of Moscow to see how Shakespeare was proving popular with the young actors of the Soviet Union. Thirty years before the existence of Logan Roy, acclaimed actor and director of the Royal Shakespeare Company Brian Cox was providing advice and assistance at the prestigious Stanislavsky Institute. ITN spoke to Cox about how he found working with the young talent of the USSR.

The series finale of HBO hit Succession, for which Cox won a best actor award at the 2020 Golden Globes, will air on 28 May 2023.
