How'S That for Telling 'Em, Fat Lady? by Simon Gray
In An Unnatural Pursuit Simon Gray wrote an 'hilarious' (Simon Callow) account of what it's like to be tortured, paranoid and a playwright. Here, in How's That for Telling 'Em, Fat Lady? he takes on the United States - from coast to coast.'A wonderfully funny portrait of the playwright as xenophobic exile and committed slob.Gray is a fluent and compulsive diarist obsessed by a Pepysian regard for trivia; he sustains a perfectly pitched desperation with irresistible zest.' Michael Ratcliffe, ObserverButley, 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.
