Denis Quilley's autobiography, near completion on his death in October 2003, is presented here with his remaining notes.After fifty years of working in the theatre, TV and films, Denis Quilley remembers his first job in rep with twenty-somethings Paul Scofield, Peter Brook and Stanley Baker; his West End debut with John Gielgud; seasons at the National Theatre with Laurence Olivier, Peter Hall and Trevor Nunn; and working in musicals and films with many other well-known figures.Stories of army service in the Sudan, touring in Italy, America and Australia, washing-up in a Park Lane hotel, staying married to the same woman for fifty years and raising three children, and having two grandchildren, are all part of these rich but light-hearted reminiscences.
