Acknowledged as one of the finest stage and screen actors of the twentieth century, Sir Laurence Olivier is loved and admired by audiences and fellow thespians alike. A master of Shakespeare, he directed, produced and acted in some of the finest adaptations of the bard to date.

To recognise this, we’re giving away two superb Laurence Olivier Shakespeare collections.
