Theatrical Anecdotes by Peter Hay
At the first dress rehearsal of the revue "Sigh No More", a young actor sprang onto the stage as 4th Harlequin. He had obviously never worn tights before and didn't know what should go under them. Noel Coward whispered piercingly "For God's sake go and tell that man to take that Rockingham tea service out of his tights". At its best, (and perhaps more often at its worst), life in the theatre has provided us with some of the most hilarious, wicked, and interesting stories. In "Theatrical Anecdotes", drama teacher and critic Peter Hay has selected many of the best, listed under such headings as child actors, exit lines, nerves and many more. Richard Burton, Sir Ralph Richardson, Sir John Gielgud, Sir Alec Guiness, and Vivien Leigh are among the stars revealing the hilarious face behind the mask.The original artistic director of First Stage in Hollywood is Peter Hay, a script development expert. He's also the author of the Oxford books Theatrical Anecdotes and Broadway Anecdotes.
