Westbrook also recorded the spoken vocal parts for the orchestral pieces An Oxford Elegy by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Morning Heroes by Arthur Bliss.He performed in a great many Shakespeare plays, which included the title part in Richard II at the Citizens', Glasgow in 1956, Morocco and the Duke of Venice in The Merchant of Venice for BBC Television in 1955, Theseus in A Midsummer Night's Dream for BBC Television in 1958 and Prospero in The Tempest for the Bristol Old Vic in 1960.
