An Unnatural Pursuit and Other Pieces by Simon Gray

Butley, Otherwise Engaged, and Quartermaine's Terms are among SIMON GRAY's many successful plays, but his greatest claim to fame may be as the creator of Cell Mates, the play from which star Stephen Fry famously vanished during the first previews in 1995. Gray, a prolific diarist and writer, went on to create Fat Chance, a best-selling account of the Fry incident. In 2004, he wrote The Smoking Diaries, a funny and insightful look at his life. It was one of his most critically and commercially successful films. In 2008, Simon Gray passed away.
