Happiness Indeed (Hardcover)

Hardcover. After fifty years of working in the theatre, TV and films (half a century of joy and fear, excitement and pain, frustration and fulfilment), 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; musicals at Drury Lane, the Savoy and Palladium with Leonard Bernstein, Noel Coward, Jerry Herman and Stephen Sondheim; and films with Richard Gere, Peter O'Toole, Sean Connery and Lauren Bacall. 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 now having (so far)two grandchildren, are all part of these rich but light-hearted reminiscences. 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 girl for 50 years and raising three children, are all part of these rich but light-hearted reminiscences.
