Research is never wasted. Before I went to England I was a 23 year old radio writer concerned with shows like “Nightbeat”, “Famous Trials” and a thriller called “The Long Shadow”, when out of the blue came an offer to write the script of a musical. It was to be a story of the Snowy…… Read more
No-one can deny that Jeffrey Archer has led a colourful life. Surviving several scandals during his years as a member of parliament, he was charged in 2000 with perjury and perverting the course of justice. Archer was irrepressible; at the same time he wrote a play about a trial performed at the Theatre Royal, and…… Read more
I remember Bill Kerr for many things. First of all playing the role of Humphrey Bogart in Woody Allen’s stage success “Play It Again Sam”, in London. It was an astonishing performance. Bill had become a close friend of ours, and he knew my wife and I were in the audience, so he kept on…… Read more
