Table of Contents

I'm not going to leave until you give me a job; one and a goat to Rose Bank; not Inigo Jones!; what do you want to go to New York for? You're in Liverpool!; surviving the Siege at Lucknow; doing Fit Up you touch with your fingertips the line back to Burbage; always give an answer; I once had digs in a place called Ham Row - very appropriate; dancing round each other's egos; the flat applauded far more than the audience; you have no safety net on stage; once an actor asked the prompter, "What's the next line?" - the prompter replied, "What's the play?"; Maria? Maybe she has gone bear bating; don't worry about me dear, you go to the ball; she let out a piercing scream; to me, versatility is all; you found out very quickly what you couldn't do rather more slowly what you could do; most actors will tell you that the audience is the maker of the play; it's been mooted all my life that theatre is dead.
