Details

Warm, candid and with a double dose of dark humour, this adaptation of Simon Gray's memoirs was completed just before his death last summer. Notable for his upcoming honesty and a wit both fierce and fearless, Gray's voice was uniquely his own - intelligent, probing and often outrageously funny. He faced life - and death - with unflinching courage and defiant humanity; even when writing about his own mortality, he lost none of his prodigious talent to entertain. His other plays include Otherwise Engaged, Quatermaine's Terms, Hidden Laughter and The Common Pursuit, and his volumes of memoirs include Fat Chance, Enter a Fox, The Smoking Diaries and Coda.
