Pericles, Prince of Tyre
Scofield began his stage career in 1940 with a debut performance in American playwright Eugene O'Neill's "Desire Under the Elms" at the Westminster Theatre, and was soon being compared to Laurence Olivier. He played at the Old Rep in Birmingham. From there he went to the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in Stratford, where he starred in Walter Nugent Monck's 1947 revival of "Pericles, Prince of Tyre".
